Alphabetical means a long menu to move the (mouse) cursor through

No it doesn't, it means one submenu level "a-f", "g-m", "n-p", "q-z" or whatever gives roughly even numbers in the leaf menus. Thats no different to the current menu, except everybody knows the first letter of the language they want, and don't need to be a "programming language nerd" to guess a category (as @codebrainz put it).

But whatever is the default, for gods sake don't hard code some set of groups, its just plain arrogance on the developers part to think they know how the user understands their languages, so make it user definable, probably in filetypes.extensions,. Then after a suitable bikeshed a default layout for the builtin languages can be provided using that.
