How to group languages

[lassik]

This is one of my favorite new repos ATM, thanks for curating the collection!

The following headings would probably be more obvious at a glance:

• Expression-based (lambda calculus: Lisp, ML, ...)
• Statement-based (C, Pascal, Assembler, ...)
• Stack-based (Forth, dc, ...)
• Esoteric (Brainfuck, Unlambda, ...)

Expression-based is probably more obvious than functional since one-file interpreters probably don't have lazy evaluation, immutable data or type inference (I'd love to be proven wrong though)! The Lisp and ML variants on the list are very impure-functional, and all imperative.

Should Prolog go into expression-based or be its own category? ML has pattern matching which is similar but different.

Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't got as far as the organization that you suggest, but you make a good point. So I added a new category, Concatenative.
