    Developed between 1969 and 1973 by Dennis ritchie at the Bell telephone laboratories for use with the unix operating system. Named because the earlier language was "B" C was so powerful that a later code called "C-" was used for the unix.

  • Pascal

  • C++

    C++
    Bell Lass and Bjarne Stroustruo were credited for making the most popular programming language ever, C++. Used by MS Office, ADOBE, PDF, and FireFox.

  • Peral

  • Ruby

    Kukinhiro "mate" Matsumuto named Ruby after Julys birthstone. He developed the language by blending parts of his favorite codes,

  • JavaScript

  • Ruby on Rails

    Ruby on Rails
    Extracted by David Heinemeier Hanssum from his work on Basecamp. Now on version 3.0:7 and has more than 1,800 contributors. A single game on the IPhone uses over 2 million lines of code.
