Fortran Description
Fortran was designed from the ground up to support computationally intensive applications in engineering and science. You can write code that runs fast and close to the metal with mature and battle-tested libraries and compilers. Fortran is statically and heavily typed. This allows the compiler to catch programming errors early. This allows the compiler generate efficient binary code. Fortran is a small language that is easy to learn and use. It is easy to express most mathematical and arithmetic operations on large arrays by simply writing them out on a whiteboard. Fortran is a natively parallel programming languages that uses intuitive array-like syntax to exchange data between CPUs. It is possible to run almost identical code on one CPU, on a shared memory multicore system or on a distributed-memory HPC system or cloud-based system.

Java
The Java™, Programming Language is a general purpose, concurrent, strongly typed and class-based object-oriented programming language. It is usually compiled according to the Java Virtual Machine Specification's bytecode instruction set. All source code in the Java programming language is first written in plain text files that end with the.java extension. The javac compiler compiles these source files into.class files. A.class file doesn't contain native code for your processor. Instead, it contains bytecodes (the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 [Java VM]). The java launcher tool will then run your application with an instance Java Virtual Machine.

Emojicode
Emojicode is an open source, full-blown programming language that uses emojis. Emojicode is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports object orientation, generics and closures. Emojicode compiles native machine codes using many optimizations that speed up your code. Emojicode comes pre-installed with many default packages. You can also create your own Emojicode packages. Emojis are expressive. Let's use this to make programming more enjoyable and accessible. Emojicode is easy to learn, regardless of your background. Our documentation is well-known for being excellent and filled with examples and walk-through guides. You can help Emojicode grow! You are invited to contribute to Emojicode's development on GitHub. Make sure Emojicode is installed before you try to install it. For example, clang++ or even g++ are fine. Emojicode compiler cannot link binaries unless such a compiler exists.

Cython
Cython, an optimizing static compiler, is available for both the Python programming languages and the extended Cython programming languages (based on Pyrex). It makes it as easy to write Python extensions using C. Cython combines the power of Python with C, allowing you to write Python code that calls back to C or C++ natively at any time. Static type declarations can be used to convert readable Python code into plain C performance. Combine source code level debugging to identify bugs in Python, Cython and C code. Large data sets can be interacted with efficiently, e.g. Multi-dimensional NumPy arrays. You can quickly build your applications in the mature, well-used CPython ecosystem. The Cython language, which is a superset Python language, supports calling C functions as well as declaring C types on variables or class attributes.

Haskell
Each expression in Haskell is assigned a type at compile time. All types that are combined by function application must match. The compiler will reject the program if they don't match up. Types are not only a guarantee, but also a language to express the construction of programs. Haskell functions are mathematical functions (i.e. "pure") in every instance. Even side-effecting IO operation are just a description of what to accomplish, and are produced by pure code. There are no instructions or statements, only expressions that can't mutate variables (local and global) or access state such as time or random numbers. You don't need to write every type in Haskell programs. Types can be inferred by unifying each type bidirectionally. You can however write out types or ask the compiler for them to be written for you.
