Well, there aren't that many groupings towards which languages
specialize for (not including embedded or other application-specific
domains).  There's OS scripting, Web scripting, and then the otherwise
general-purpose "normative" languages in the middle of those two
extremes.  But this view presumes a model of computation which hasn't
settled into wide agreement.
