Re: Programming Languages
I think web-based languages like JavaScript are becoming more popular though.

Technically Javascript is a scripting language. 
Not actually a programming language, since you can't make actual program out of it.

Re: Programming Languages
Some of the most popular are the C family, Java, VB and maybe Python.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: Programming Languages
Java, C++...but I like PHP best.
Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Wikipedia considers them programming languages. They just have a more specific purpose than other languages.

Uh.. no? You can create complete user interfaces with it and it's Turing complete.

+1
You can also make games in it.
This is a temporary signature. It will exist until I think of something witty.

Have you ever bought a book and tried to learn from it?
Not a book, no, but I've looked up a kajillion tutorials on YouTube for Stencyl, but I'm getting nowhere.

Search for Javascript there
Yes but scripting languages are programming languages too. They're just usualy interpreted live instead of compiled into bytecode then ran directly on hardware.
That does not make them less useful. It makes them slower usually, but more flexible for some uses.
And the line between scripting and compiled languages can be very fuzzy or non existent:
- PHP can now be compiled into bytecode and ran directly on hardware now, (like C etc...) Facebook made HipHop to do this to make their web servers much faster.
- V8, Goggle's Javascript interpreter(in Chrome and node.js) compiles parts of Javascript programs, and can be as fast as compiled languages for some tasks.
And Scratch is a scripting language too...
Javascript is used for much more than just client-side websites now.
node.js runs javascript as a server, (sort of like ruby, python, or php...)
It can also be used to make desktop apps like this. ...and much more.
