Question

I need help with comparing different programming languages.

The languages are : C#, C, C++, Python, MatLab, Java, Haskell, Ruby, Prolog, and Perl.

I need to know the purpose of these languages, why and how they were developed and their main usage ( how they are used in industry).

In addition, I need to compare these languages based on their compilation techonology, memory management, efficiency, programming paradigm, and argument passing methods.

If you can classify, tell me the differences between the languages, it would help immensely.

Thank you very much in advance.

Explanation / Answer

C# : It a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-based) language. It was developed by Microsoft. It is mainly used for Microsoft applications.

C : is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language. Developed by Dennis Ritchie for writing linux kernel. Now it is widely used everywhere, especially in embedded systems.

C++ is a general-purpose programming language. It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup.

Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming, created by Guido van Rossum. It has a widespread use. Some of the usecases are in web development, mobile app development, data science etc.

MATLAB is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language. It is used for Mathematics related operations

Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Currently, java is used everywhere. Some widespread use of java includes server development, android development etc.

Haskell is a standardized, general-purpose purely functional programming language, with non-strict semantics and strong static typing.  it is ideally suited for proprietary business logic and data analysis

Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, object-oriented, general-purpose programming language. Usage include the widely known rails framework which is used for web development.

Prolog is a general-purpose logic programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. It was the first language developed for artificial intelligence and data science.

Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. It is used as CGI scripting language

Hope it helps!
