Computer Languages

  • Plankalkul

    Plankalkül ("Plan Calculus") is a programming language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse. It was the first high-level programming language to be designed for a computer.
  • Fortran

    Fortran was the world's first high-level programming language. It was developed at IBM by a small team led by John Backus
  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC was similar to Univac's contemporaneous business-oriented language, FLOW-MATIC, differing in providing algebraic-style expressions and floating-point arithmetic, and arrays rather than record structures. MATH-MATIC was written by a team led by Charles Katz under the direction of Grace Hopper.
  • Lisp

    LISP, an acronym for list processing, is a programming language that was designed for easy manipulation of data strings. Developed by John McCarthy, it is a commonly used language for artificial intelligence (AI) programming
  • COBOL

    COBOL was one of the first computer programming languages. The name COBOL stands for Common Business-Oriented Language, Designed by Grace Hooper.
  • RPG

    The name RPG (Report Program Generator) was descriptive of the purpose of the language. Generation of reports from data files, including matching record and sub-total reports
  • BASIC

    BASIC stands for "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code." Originally designed as an interactive mainframe timesharing language by John Kemeney and Thomas Kurtz in 1963, it became widely used on personal computers everywhere.
  • LOGO

    Logo was created at Bolt, by Wally Feurzeig, Cynthia Solomon, and Seymour Papert. Its intellectual roots are in artificial intelligence, mathematical logic and developmental psychology. The Logo Programming Language, a dialect of Lisp, was designed as a tool for learning.
  • B

    B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969. It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie. B was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine-independent applications, such as system and language software.
  • C

    C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at Bell Labs, and used to re-implement the Unix operating system.
  • ABA

    Developed in the 1970s by Psychologist Ivar Lovaas and Robert Koegel at UCLA. ADA is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language, extended from Pascal and other languages.
  • ML

    The ML (meta language) programming language was developed by Robin Milner and his colleagues at the University of Edinburgh. ML is a general-purpose, modular, functional programming language with compile-time type checking and type inference.
  • PASCAL

    Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, designed by Niklaus Wirth as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • SQL

    SQL (Structured Query Language). It is a special purpose computer programming language, which has been designed for the purpose of data management that is kept in a Relational Database Management System or for the processing of stream data. Created by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Ted Codd.
  • C++

    C++ is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of the C language.
  • Python

    Python was designed by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language, capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system.
  • Java

    Java is a general-purpose computer-programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible, designed by James Gosling.
  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic was the approach for connecting the programming language to the graphical user interface is derived from a system called Tripod. Originally developed by Alan Cooper, which was further developed by Cooper and his associates under contract to Microsoft.
  • PHP

    (PHP) Hypertext Preprocessor is a server-side scripting language designed for Web development, but also used as a general-purpose programming language. It was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf
  • Delphi

    Delphi is a high level language supporting object-oriented design. It is a rapid application development used to develop applications ranging from database solutions to mobile applications and is used on Windows as well as Linux, Published by the Embarcadero company.
  • Javascript

    JavaScript is a programming language commonly used in web development. It was originally developed by Netscape as a means to add dynamic and interactive elements to websites.
