Question about scripting languages - redplanet - 03-06-2018

Former MS power user, linux noob, and total LL fan here.  I don't know any languages really, but how can I tell which scripting languages I have available on my system?  Like a list.  I mean this primarily for shell scripts, but also potentially for compilers.  Have been thinking about learning something like python or ruby... I am also aware that I can probably install a package to support an additional language (scripted or compiled) if I want to.

Hello redplanet,

Python 2 and Python 3 are already installed in Linux Lite.
You can write the code in Gedit then save, the file is run from the terminal.
Where you can also import other modules for Python, like turtle.

Gedit is in Install/remove software -
