    Plankalkul

    Plankalkul was created by Konrad Zuse. Plankalkül is a programming language designed for engineering purposes. It stands for Plan Calculus.

  • Fortran

    Fortran is a computer program created by John Backus. Fortran is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. It stands for formula translator.

  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC was created by Remington Rand. Syntactically, 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.

  • Lisp

    Lisp was created by John McCarthy. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenced by the notation of Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. It stands for list processing.

  • RPG

    RPG was created by IMB. RPG is a high-level programming language (HLL) for business applications. It stands for Report Program Generator.

  • Basic

    Basic was created by John G. Kemeny, Thomas E. Kurtz, to emphasizes ease of use. It stands for Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code

  • LOGO

    LOGO was created by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, Cynthia Solomon. A general-purpose language, Logo is widely known for its use of turtle graphics, in which commands for movement and drawing produced line or vector graphics, either on screen or with a small robot termed a turtle. The word comes from the greeks word logos which means word or thought.

  • B

    B was a program created by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine-independent applications, such as system and language software.

  • C

    C is a program created by Dennis Ritchie to support structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, with a static type system.

  • PASCAL

    PASCAL was created by Niklaus Wirth. It is intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

  • ML

    ML was created Robin Milner. ML is a general-purpose functional programming language. It stands for meta language.

  • SQL

    SQL was created by ISO/IEC. SQL is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system, or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system. It stands for structured query language.

  • Ada

    Ada was created by Jean Ichbiah, S. Tucker Taft. Ada was originally designed for embedded and real-time systems.

  • C++

    C++ was a computer program created by Bjarne Stroustrup, as an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes". The language has expanded significantly over time, and modern C++ now has object-oriented, generic, and functional features in addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation. It stands for C with Classes.

  • COBOL

    COBOL is a program created by Howard Bromberg, Norman Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, Gertrude Tierney. COBOL is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. It stands for common business-oriented language.

  • Python

    Python was created by Guido van Rossum. Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.

  • PHP

    PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf. PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. It stands for Hypertext Preprocessor.

  • Delphi

    Delphi was a program created by Anders Hejlsberg. Delphi is a programming language and an integrated development environment (IDE) for rapid application development of desktop, mobile, web, and console software.

  • Java

    Java was created by James Gosling. It provides a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing environment.

  • Javascript

    Javascript was created by Brendan Eich. JavaScript is high-level, often just-in-time compiled, and multi-paradigm. It has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions.

  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic was created by Microsoft. Visual Basic is a third-generation event-driven programming language from Microsoft known for its Component Object Model programming model first released in 1991 and declared legacy during 2008. Microsoft intended Visual Basic to be relatively easy to learn and use.
