Does anybody have a list of programming languages as a table (sql) or as CSV?
I'm currently writing a chess software which should allow programmers to write their own chess software and play chess games against other chess software / players. They should have the possibility to provide information about their software, such as the programming language they used. I would like to make some statistics of the most used programming languages, so I can't allow them to write the used languages as plain text as the spellings might be different (e.g. C++, c++, CPP).
edit: I want a structured list where I can easily extract the Name of the programming language. Of course, I can manually type the wikipedia-list or write a RegEx to do so. But I thought this might be available like the list of timezones.
Three people so far have given you wikipedia's link. However, this is something not even wikipedia can adequately keep up with.
If you can, it might be better to just keep your own list. Provide it to the users to pick from, but allow them the option to add in a language that isn't on the list already. That way you don't clutter up your list of languages with hundreds of esoteric unused languages (that will still be incomplete 6 months from now).
