The languages
What each one is for, where it came from, and what it is like under your hands. Every page links to the official documentation and to the tours you can practice it with.

- GoA deliberately small language, designed around how large teams actually fail.
- HTMLThe most forgiving format ever designed, and the reason the web still works.
- Igor ProA scientific analysis environment with a programming language attached, and a devoted following in the lab.
- JavaScriptWritten in ten days, now the only language every computer with a screen can run.
- PythonThe language that optimizes for the reader, and won the sciences by doing it.
- RBuilt by statisticians for statisticians, and it shows in both directions.
- RustMemory safety without a garbage collector, paid for at compile time.
- SQLYou describe the answer you want; the database decides how to get it.
