I haven't thought deeply on this, but for programing/scripting languages, one way could be to break them up in their general syntax style, for an incomplete example:

• Pascal-style

  • Ada
  • Pascal
  • Coffeescript
  • Lua
  • Ruby

• C-style

  • C
  • C++
  • C#
  • D
  • Go
  • JS
  • Java
  • Rust
  • Vala

• Python-style

  • Python
  • Genie
  • Nim

• Lisp & Functional-style

  • Lisp
  • Scheme
  • Clojure
  • Erlang
  • Haskell

It wouldn't be perfect, and the "C-style" group would have a lot of languages, but at least it's better than the incorrect/non-existent distinction of "Programming" vs "Scripting".

Another more obvious way would be to group them alphabetically, collapsing ranges of letters together where there aren't very many languages (to avoid a large 26 item menu with few items in each submenu).

Just a couple ideas.
