If you want a list of all programming languages (or at least around 2500 of
them), try this page:

I don't understand the purpose of this list. If it is to list all
programming languages, that is hopeless, as there are thousands of
programming languages. If it is to list all programming languages with
security ambitions, then I'm confused, as clearly not all of the
languages listed were inte

Yes it should - they are substantially different languages, even if we look
at them only syntactically. You could argue that Javascript should be listed
as ECMAScri
