Best Languages For Application Domains?

This is just a list of languages that seem like they are useful to domain areas that I have interests in:

• Fortran (numerical modeling)
• Lisp (symbolic computing)
• C (hardware control / systems programming)
• Awk / Perl (text processing)
• Node.js (concurrency / web / network programming)
• Erlang (concurrency / distributed / network programming)
• Clojure (concurrency / symbolic programming)

Application Domains

Different Areas Of Computing:

• Numerical Programming

Turtle Graphics In JavaScript

I’ve been looking at a book on Logo today. It’s been years since I did any Logo programming (I think it might have been my first experience with a programming language).

I think it would be cool if there was a version of it which could either produce images for the browser, or compile to JavaScript which could draw to a Canvas element.

I think I’m going to continue to investigate this idea.
