  • B

    Developed by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and Designed by Ken Thompson, is usually much easier to write and understand than assembly language programs, and object code efficiency is almost as good says S. C. JohnsonB., W. Kernighan, Bell Laboratories.

  • ML

    Developed by Robin Milner, is a multi paradigm, extended functional programming language and often labeled as an "impure" functional language, because it allows side effects says WhoIsHostingThis.
