  • Plankalkul

    Plankalkul, German for Plan Calculus, is a proramming language for engineering purposes. Plankalkul was designed in 1948 by Konrad Zuse.

  • Fortran

    Developed by IBM in 1957, Fortran comes from Formula Translating System and is an all-purpose language that is specialized for scientific computing.

  • MATH-MATIC

    Created by Charles Katz in 1957, MATH-MATIC, also known as AT-3 compiler, was designed as a better version of FORTRAN for the UNIVAC I and the UNIVAC II.

  • Lisp

    Developed in 1958 by Steve Russel, Lisp is the second-oldest programming language of high-level. Lisp was a=originally specified for math notation, but it was commonly used in AI research.

  • RPG

    Developed in 1959 by IBM, RPG is a high-level programming language that was created for punch card machines. RPG is mainly used for business purposes and applications.

  • COBOL

    COBOL stands for common business-oriented language, and appeared in 1959 by the creatos in the Conference on Data Systems Languages. COBOL was used by the United States Department of Defence for data processing.

  • BASIC

    BASIC, which stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, was developed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. BASIC was designed as a language that was easy to learn, which allowed normal people to learn it.

  • Logo

    Designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert, Logo was a programming language dedicated to education. It was created to teach others the programming language related to LISP.

  • B

    Programming language B first appearedd around 1969 and was created by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie for the purpose of machine independent applications. B got its name from a different programming language, BCPL.

  • Pascal

    In 1970, Niklaus Wirth designed the programming language Pascal, named after the mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal was very effective as a guide for good programming practices.

  • C

    Appearing in 1972 and designed by Dennis Ritchie, C was developed as an all-purpose programming language.

  • ML

    Standing for metalanguage and developed by Robin Milner in 1973, ML, an all-purpose functional language was designed to complete theorem proving tactics.

  • SQL

    SQL or Structured Query Language was designed in 1974 by Donald D. Chamberlin to manage data.

  • ADA

    ADA is a high-level programming language developed by a group led by Jean Ichbiah around 1980. Its name comes from the first computer programmer Ada Lovelace. This language was created for the United States Department of Defence to take the place of old languages that they used

  • C++

    C++, developed in 1983 by Bjarne Stroustrup, is an all-purpose language that is mainly used for desktop applications, servers, and entertainment software.

  • Python

    Python is a high-level programming language designed by Guido van Rossum in 1991. WIth Python, users can reduce their lines of code while producing the same concepts that they could in other languages.

  • Visual Basic

    Developed by Microsoft in 1991, Visual Basic was intended to be easy and quick to learn. Visual Basic is mainly used to complete applications and access databases.

  • Delphi

    Embarcadero Delphi, originally founded in 1995 by Borland, is an integrated development environment for applications such as mobile, web, and graphical.

  • Java

    Originally designed for television, Java was designed by James Gosling in 1995. Java is object-oriented all-purpose language.

  • JavaScript

    Designed by Brendan Eich in 1995, JavaScript, a dynamic programming language, is mostly used in web browsers, but can be used for developing games, and mobile applications.

  • PHP

    Used as an all-purpose language, but mainly used for web developement, PHP was designed in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf. PHP stands for Personal Home Page.
