I don't see how Nim, Python, Ruby, Rust can be classified as C language family?

Nim is compiled but it is more similar to Ada rather than C

Python and Ruby are not even compiled languages, the type system is completly different

Go has a GC, C doesn't

Rust is diametrically opposite to C when it comes to memory safety

I am having second thoughts about categorizing languages into families. It seems like it would be a very subjective choice to put a language in a family and also it would be a barrier to new contributors if they want to add a new language and are not sure which category it belongs to.

I think we should just stick to alphabetical order. Can you please revert this commit?

with all the recent changes this PR will become messier and it will be tough to resolve conflicts also I don't see much value in categorization when compared to the amount of effort that it requires, hence closing it. Apologies for not deciding this earlier and thank you for the contribution 😄
