"C"? "C#"? "D"? "R"? "Basic"? "Dart"? "Swift"? "Ruby"? "Python"? "Rust"? "Java"? "Groovy"? "Julia"? "Haskell"? "Pascal"? "Shell"? "Bash"? "Ceylon"? "Delphi"? "Lisp"?

Many of those names are just short-forms for a full name, e.g. "Microsoft C#", "Python 2", "Apache Groovy", "C Shell", "Common Lisp".
