Wikipedia - PlankalkulA programming language developed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse. First ever high-level programming language. -
Fortran
Wikipedia - Fortran"Formula Translating System" Designed by IBM for scientific and engineering purposes. -
MATH-MATIC
Wikipedia - MATH-MATICMATH-MATIC was developed by Charles Katz and was the early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. MATH-MATIC was intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. MATH-MATIC led to the development of the first English-language business data processing compiler, B-0 (FLOW-MATIC). -
Lisp
Wikipedia - LispDeveloped by John McCarthy while at MIT. Originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenced by Alonzo Church's ;ambda calculus. -
COBOL

BASIC
Wikipedia - BASIC"Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code." Made by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. Used so that students who are in fields other than math and science could use computers. -
LOGO
Wikipedia - LOGODesigned by the tam of Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. Conceived to teach concepts of programming related to Lisp and only later to enable what Papert called "body-syntonic reasoning", -
B

Java
Wikipedia - Java(programming language)Developed by James Gosling, Mike Sheridan and Patrick Naughton. Was initially designed for interactive television but was too advanced for cable TV at the time. Intended to let app developers "write once, run anywhere", meaning that Java code could run on all plstforms who supported Java. -
Python
Wikipedia - Python(programming language)Developed by Guido van Rossum to make code more easily read and to allow programmers to express concepts in fewer amounts of code. -
