Plankalkul
Developed between 1934 and 1945 by Konrad Zuse, this programming lanuage is designed for engineering purposes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plankalk%C3%BCl -
Fortran
Designed in 1950 by John Backus and IBM, this programming language is designed for scientific and engineering applications. Fortran derived from Formula Translating System. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran -
MATH-MATIC
Developed in 1957 by Charles Katz, this programming language was intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATH-MATIC -
Lisp
Developed in 1958 by John McCarthy, this programming language was origannly created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs. Lisp derives from LISt Processor. -
COBOL
Designed in 1959 by Howard Bromberg, Howard Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, and Gertrude Tierney, this programming language is a compiled English-like language designed for business use. It is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. COBOL stands for Common Business-Oriented Language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBOL -
RPG
Developed in 1959 by IBM, this programming language is a tool to replicate punched card processing on the IBM 1401 and has been updated to fit new models. RPG stands for Report Program Generator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_RPG -
BASIC
Developed in 1964 by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz, this programming language is designed for general-purpose, and high level programming made easy to use. BASIC stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC -
LOGO
Developed in 1967 by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon, this programming language is remembered mainly for its use of turle graphics, in which commands for movement and drawing produced line graphics either on screen or with a small robot called a turtle. The language was origanally created to teach concepts of programming related to Lisp and teach students to learn the turtles motion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language) -
PASCAL
Developed in 1968 by Niklaus Writh, this programming language was made small and efficient and intended to encourage good programming practices using structued programming and data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(programming_language) -
B
Developed in 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, this programming language was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine independent applications, such as system and language software. https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/bintro.html -
ML
Developed in 1970 by Robin Milner at the University of Edinburgh, this programming language was made to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover. It is known for its use of the Hindley-Milner type inference algorithm, which can automatically infer the types of most expressions without requiring explicit type annotations. -
C
Developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie, this programming language is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language) -
SQL
Developed in 1974 by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce, this programming language was designed for managing data held in a relational database management system or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system. SQL stands for Structured Query Language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL -
ADA
Developed in the 1980s by Dr. Jean Ichbiah, this programming language was designed for large, long lived applications and embedded systems in particular where reliability and efficiency are essential. This programming language is not an acronym, but was chosen in honor of Augusta Ada Lovelance.
Ada -
C++
Designed in 1983 by Bjarne Stroustrup, this programming language has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. It was designed with bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained and large systems, with performance, efficiency and flexibility of use as its design highlights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B -
Python
Developed in 1989 by Guido van Rossum at CWI, this programming language is designed to emphasize code readability and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) -
Visual Basic
Developed in 1991 by Microsoft, this programming language was made to be easy to use and learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic -
PHP
Developed in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf, this programming language is designed for web development but also as a general-purpose programming language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP -
Delphi
Developed in 1995 by the Borland Software Corporation, this programming language is designed as a rapid application development tool for Windows. Its full name is Embarcadero Delphi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_(programming_language) -
Java
Designed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, this programming language is designed to let application developers "write once, run anywhere", meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompilation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language) -
Java Script
Developed in 1995 by Brandan Eich, this programming language is extremely important for the World Wide Web. All websites without plugins support this programming language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript
