One requirement for the language of a project is that it is based on a series of method calls. Which type of language is characterized in this way?

Static languages refer to languages where types are known at compile time. While static typing can be present in functional languages, it is not a defining characteristic of how the language operates in terms of method calls. The focus here is on the execution of functions rather than the typing system.

Compiled languages are those that are transformed into machine code before execution. While many functional languages can be compiled, compilation does not inherently imply a structure based on method calls. The compilation process is about execution efficiency, rather than how the language organizes and executes logic through methods.

Markup languages are designed for annotating text and do not inherently include method calls as a fundamental part of their structure. They focus on defining data presentation rather than executing functions, which is why they do not fit the requirement outlined in the question.
