The '''curly brace family''' of [[programming language]]s includes [[C programming language|C]], [[C Plus Plus|C++]]; [[AWK]], [[CCoyote]], Sharp[[Cyclone programming language|Cyclone]], [[C Sharp|C#]], [[D programming language|D]], [[JavaECMAScript]] programming(a.k.a. language|Java[[JavaScript]]), [[JavaScriptFrink]], [[AWKJava programming language|Java]], [[Perl]], [[PHP]], [[Pico programming language|Pico]], [[Pike_programming_language|Pike]], and others.
