Comparison of programming languages is a common topic of discussion among software engineers. Few languages ever become sufficiently popular that they are used by more than a few people or find their niche in research or education; but professional programmers can easily use dozens of different languages during their career. Multiple programming languages are designed, specified, and implemented every year in order to keep up with the changing programming paradigms, hardware evolution, etc. In this paper we present a comp arative study between ten programming languages:
Haskell, Java, Perl, C++, AspectJ, COBOL, Ruby, PHP, Bash Scripts, and Scheme; with respect of the following criteria: Secure programming practices, web applications development, web services design and comp osition, object oriented-based abstraction, reflection, aspect-orientation, functional programming, declarative programming, batch scripting, and user interface prototype design.

1. Introduction
The first high-level programming languages were designed during the 1950s. Ever since then, programming languages have been a fascinating and productive area of study [43]. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, with many more being created every year; they ar e designed, specified, and implemented for the purpose of being
