See Unix Tools for tools that have some of these languages

Pattern Languages

Should be unified under "OCRE"

regex: BRE, ERE, PCRE, etc. -- see Unix Tools
glob and extended glob (from ksh I think)
scanf - % style
strptime - % style

Formatting Languages

Should be unified under shell-style.

shell style with $var and ${var} -- sh, PHP, and now JavaScript
printf-style -- see Unix Tools
bash uses \h \W for the prompt
Swift uses \(var)
Python .format() uses {var}. And I think {{ for escaping.
Most web template languages (e.g. Django, Go) use {{var}}
