Divide languages into categories

Open potat-dev opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Create a new .md file or wiki page with language categorization

For example:

  • Programming languages
  • Esoteric programming languages
  • Spoken languages

I like the idea. @Richienb what do you think.

Depends if some exist in the grey area.

Also, it would be wasteful to re-catalogue all the languages in a new file since we'd have to update that every time.

@Richienb @CyberPotat42 do any of you have an idea on how we could get the upade_list.py script to keep them in their categories if we do go through with this idea?

@Richienb maybe we can make it optional to categorize the language. and the uncategorized languages arent in the new document

I think this can be implemented using issue #317 main idea: short introduction for ~~every~~ most languages (you can make it optional as @sastofficial suggested). In the short description, the person who adds the language will also indicate its category, and then update_list.py will scan its short description, parse the category from there, and add the language to this category
