Readability = Measure of the quality of a programming language Overall Simplicity = Potential problem of most programming languages including readability problem, feature multiplicity, and operator overloading Orthogonality = Relative small set of primitive construct combined in a relatively small number of ways Data Types = Aid for readability, defining data types and data structures in a language

Syntax Design = Has significant effect on the readability of programs Writability = A measure of how easily a language can be used to create programs Simplicity and Orthogonality = Different construct of a program can lead to misuse of some features and disuse of others that those are used Expressivity Type checking = Testing for type errors in a given program

General-purpose programming = Python Client-side scripting for web applications = JavaScript Database queries = SQL Styling web pages = CSS
