Synchronous programming language

Synchronous programming languages are types of computer programming languages that use a certain type of communication between the computer program and other programs and systems. This type of communication, called "synchronous," means that the computer program will wait for a response from other programs before continuing with the instructions that the programmer wrote. This helps make sure that the computer program runs correctly and doesn't cause problems.
