==== Programming language ====
{{Main|Programming language}}
A programming language is a [[notation system]] for writing the [[source code]] from which a [[computer program]] is produced. Programming languages provide various ways of specifying programs for computers to run. Unlike [[natural language]]s, programming languages are designed to permit no ambiguity and to be concise. They are purely written languages and are often difficult to read aloud. They are generally either translated into [[machine code]] by a [[compiler]] or an [[Assembly language#Assembler|assembler]] before being run, or translated directly at run time by an [[interpreter (computing)|interpreter]]. Sometimes programs are executed by a hybrid method of the two techniques.
▲There are thousands of programming languages—some intended for general purpose [[Computer programming|programming]], others useful for only highly specialized applications.<!-- ATTENTION!
