  • Plankalkul

    Plankalkul
    Plankalkul is a code intended for building purposes by Konrad Zuse somewhere in the range of 1943 and 1945. It was the primary significant level non-von Neumann programming language intended for a computer.
  • PHP

    PHP is an open source server-side scripting language designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It is one of the first developed server-side scripting languages to be embedded into an HTML source document rather than calling an external file to process data. It appeared in 1995, said to be created by Rasmus Lerdorf.
  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC
    MATH-MATIC is a programming language created in 1957. MATH-MATIC is the marketing name for the AT-3 (Algebraic Translator 3) compiler, an early programming language for the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. MATH-MATIC was written beginning around 1955 by a team led by Charles Katz under the direction of Grace Hopper.
  • Fortran

    Fortran
    Fortran is an actively used programming language created in 1957. Fortran is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications
  • Lisp

    Lisp
    Lisp is an actively used programming language created in 1958. Lisp (historically, LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today.
  • RPG

    RPG
    the Report Program Generator (or RPG for short) is a high-level programming language serves a wide array of business applications and uses. It was developed by the tech giant IBM in 1959 as the Report Program Generator- a tool that was developed to serve as an alternative for the punch card processing system
  • COBOL

    COBOL
    COBOL is an actively used programming language created in 1959. COBOL (, an acronym for common business-oriented language) is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use.
  • BASIC

    BASIC
    Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, aka Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, is an actively used programming language created in 1964. BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.
  • LOGO

    LOGO
    Logo is an actively used programming language created in 1967. Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. "Logo" is not an acronym. It was derived from the Greek logos meaning word or "thought" by Feurzeig, to distinguish itself from other programming languages that were primarily numbers
  • B

    B
    B is a programming language created in 1969. B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969. It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie. B was derived from BCPL, and its name may be a contraction of BCPL
  • PASCAL

    PASCAL
    Pascal is an actively used programming language created in 1970. Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968–69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal.
  • C

    C
    C is an actively used programming language created in 1972. C (, as in the letter c) is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language. C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at Bell Labs, and used to re-implement the Unix operating system.
  • ML

    ML
    Meta Language, aka Meta Language, is an actively used programming language created in 1973. ML ('Meta Language') is a general-purpose functional programming language. It has roots in Lisp, and has been characterized as "Lisp with types". Meta Language was created by Robin Milner
  • SQL

    SQL
    SQL means Structured Query Language and is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data in relational database management systems. Appeared in 1974 and was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce.
  • ADA

    ADA
    Ada was originally designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull under contract to the United States Department of Defense from 1977 to 1983 to supersede the hundreds of programming languages then used by the DOD. Ada was named after Ada Lovelace, who is credited as being the first computer programmer.
  • C++

    C++
    C++ is a general-purpose programming language. It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs, it adds object oriented features, such as classes, and other enhancements to the C programming language.
  • Python

    Python
    Python is an actively used programming language created in 1991. Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming, created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991
  • Visual

    Visual
    Visual Basic is an actively used programming language created in 1991. Visual Basic is a third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft
  • java

    java
    Java is an actively used programming language created in 1995. Java is a general-purpose computer programming language. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture
  • javascript

    javascript
    JavaScript, often abbreviated as JS, It has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification. Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of World Wide Web content production. JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich
  • delphi

    Delphi is a programming language and software development kit (SDK) for desktop, mobile, web, and console applications.[1] Delphi's compilers use their own Object Pascal dialect of Pascal and generate native code for several platforms: Windows (x86 and x64), OS X (32-bit only), iOS (32 and 64-bit) and Android.
