is a historically influential imperative and procedural programming language

C

Jan 26, 1972

is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language. It supports structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations.

Python

Mar 16, 1991

Pythons a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language.[17][18][19] 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.[20][21] The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.[22]

Java

Jun 13, 1995

Javais a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented,[11] and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

PHP

Aug 23, 1995

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language

Javascript

Sep 18, 1995

Javascript is a dynamic computer programming language.[5] It is most commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed
