Programming languages each have a data type that they’re especially good at manipulating. Here’s some based on my experience.
- Python: dictionary
C
: pointer- Haskell: user defined data types, linked lists
- Shell scripting languages (
bash
/zsh
): string - Lisp: linked list
- SQL: table
- APL: tensor
- Numpy: tensor
- Fortran: array
