List of Programming languages in Html dropdown and Checkboxes (Hacktoberfest)

Very recently, while building an application, I needed a list of programming languages to be displayed for my users to select their programming interests. But, there were no known repositories which had a list of programming languages as html checkboxes/radio buttons/dropdown list. Hence, I had to code in the 50 most frequently used programming languages.

Turns out, if you Google it (I referred to Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages), there are more than 300 known languages which people use, and the top 50 doesn't justify what people learn.

Hence, I decided to use the opportunity provided by Hacktoberfest'2022 to create the list in both dropdowns (html select options) and checkboxes with the help of user contributions.

Here is my repository: https://github.com/chilarai/list-of-programming-languages

If you feel you want to contribute to the list, please reply back to open issues so that I can assign you the particular issue. If you want to use the repo in any of your projects in the future, please feel free to do so.

Happy Hacking!!!
