  • Plankalkül

    Designed by Konrad Zuse, its was used for engineering purposes.

  • Fortran

    Developed by John Backus, is used mostly in numeric computation and scientific computing.

  • Math-Matic

    Designed by Remington Rand, used as an algebraic translator.

  • Lisp

    Designed by John McCarthy, made for easy manipulations of data strings.

  • COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language)

    Designed by Howard Bromberg, Howard Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, Gertrude Tierney, it is used mostly in businesses.

  • RPG (Report Program Generator)

    Developed by IBM, its was used to replicate punching cards. It later became COBOL.

  • BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)

    Designed by John Kemeney and Thomas Kurtz, as an interactive mainframe timesharing language.

  • Logo

    Designed by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, Cynthia Solomon, as an education programming language.

  • B

    Developed by Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie, it was mostly used in non-numeric apps, like system programming.

  • Pascal

    Created by Niklaus Wirth, with the intent to encourage good programming practices.

  • C

    Developed by Dennis Ritchie, is a general-purpose and used for scripting applications mostly in Windows and Linux.

  • ML (Meta Language)

    Designed by Robin Milner, and is used to operate other languages.

  • SQL (Structured Query Language)

    Designed by Donald D. Chamberlin, Raymond F. Boyce, used for managing data.

  • ADA

    Designed by a team of French computer scientist, and is now mostly used in military defense.

  • C++

    Created by Bjarne Stroustrup, it has been expanded more than its predecessor and is mostly used in many applications.

  • Python

    Designed by Guido van Rossum, helps programmers write clear and logical codes.

  • Visual Basic

    Created by Microsoft with the intent to educate others who are starting to program.

  • Delphi (IDE)

    Developed by Embarcadero Technologies, it is very useful in rapid application development for software on multiple platforms.

  • Java

    Developed my James Gosling, it was intended for app developers to run their code on any platforms that support Java without recoding.

  • Javascript

    Designed by Brendan Eichand, and is one of the core technologies of websites.

  • PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)

    Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf, a server scripting language used in developing websites or web apps.
