Programming languages used at Google

There is an incredible number of programming languages used by software engineers and scientists around the world. The most recent survey of Stack Overflow shows that there are over 35 languages that are used by professional software developers today. The list of notable programming languages available on Wikipedia consists of approximately 700 languages. The online historical encyclopedia of programming languages goes much further and presents almost 9000 languages on its list! This number even exceeds the number of 7,151 spoken languages that are still in use today!
Scrolling through these lists can be entertaining and a bit nostalgic for experienced software professionals while beginners may find this information somewhat intimidating. However, out of all of these languages, only 5 are officially approved and strongly encouraged at Google.
