text: **Programming languages**
  
  We assume that you have some experience with coding and deploying programs using one of the 
  
  supported languages. This guide will*not*teach you how to program, but it will at times provide 
  code samples. 
  
  Writing functions in an interpreted language like Python or JavaScript might be more straight- 
  
  forward in some scenarios because your code can be added directly through the AWS Management 
  
  Console web interface. 
  
  You can use one of the listed languages, or create your own Lambda runtime container. 
  
  • Python, JavaScript/TypeScript — Commonly used interpreted languages 
  
  • Java, C#, Go — Compiled languages 
  
  • Ruby, PowerShell — Less frequently used options
