By Jakeport

  • Plankalkul

    The first programming language. Designed by Konrad Zuse.

  • Fortran

    Developed by IBM for scientific and engineering applications. Designed by John Backus.

  • MATH-MATIC

    Intended as an improvement over Fortran. Developed by Grace Hopper.

  • Lisp

    Senond oldest programming language in wide-spread use. Designed by John Mccarthy.

  • RPG

    Developed as a tool to replicate punched card processing. Developed by IBM.

  • Cobol

    Created as part of a US Department of Defense effort to create a portable programming language for data processing. Designed by
    Howard Bromberg, Howard Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, and Gertrude Tierney.

  • Basic

    General-purpose, high level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. Designed by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz.

  • Logo

    Originally conceived to teach concepts of programming related to LISP. Designed by Wally Feurzeig, and Seymour Papert.

  • B

    Designed for system and language software. Developed by Ken Thompson, and Dennis Ritchie

  • Pascal

    Intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. Designed by Niklaus Wirth.

  • C

    One of the most widely used programming languages of all time. Designed by Dennis Ritchie.

  • ML

    Conceived to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover. Designed by Robin Milner & others at the University of Edinburgh.

  • SQL

    A special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system, Designed by Donald D. Chamberlin
    Raymond F. Boyce.

  • Ada

    Improves the safety and maintainability by leveraging the compiler to find compile-time errors in favor of runtime errors. Designed by Jean Ichbiah.

  • C++

    It was designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained and large systems, with performance, efficiency and flexibility of use as its design highlights. Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup.

  • Python

    Its design philosophy emphasizes 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. Designed by Guido van Rossum.

  • Visual Basic

    Derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications. Designed by Microsoft.

  • Delphi

    An early example of Rapid Application Development tools (RAD) tools. Developed by Borland.

  • Java

    Specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Developed by James Gosling and
    Sun Microsystems.

  • Javascript

    It is one of the three essential technologies of World Wide Web content production; the majority of websites employ it and it is supported by all modern web browsers without plug-ins. Developed by Brendan Eich.

  • PHP

    A server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. Developed by Rasmus Lerdorf.
