-
Fortran
Fortran was designed by John Backus. It is procedural, general-purpose, and, as of 2003, object-oriented. -
MATH-MATIC
MATH-MATIC was designed by Charles Katz in 1957 as an improvement over Fortran. It was made for the UNIVAC I and II. -
Lisp
Lisp is an abbreviation of List Processor. This is the second oldest high-level programming language, behind Plankalkul. It was made by Steve Russel, Timothy P. Hart, and Mike Levin. -

COBOL is the Common Business-Oriented Language. It was created by the people at CODASYL -
RPG
RPG is an IBM language that stands for Report Program Generator. It was supposed to be like a replacement for the punch cards and function similarly. -
BASIC

Logo
Logo was designed by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Paport, Cynthia Solomon as an educational programming language. It was the first language to use turtle graphics (something moves and creates a line under it). -
B
B may stand for BCPL or for Bon; it is unknown. It was designed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs to make machine-independent applications. -
PASCAL
PASCAL was named after mathematician Blaise Pascal. Niklaus Wirth designed it to reinforce good programming habits. -
C
C was also designed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie. It took heavy inspiration from B. -
ML
ML stands for metalanguage. Robin Milner at the University of Edinburgh designed this language for calculus computations. -
SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It was developed by : International Organization of Standardization for Relational Database Management Systems. -
Ada
It was developed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull with a contract under the U.S. Department of Defense. It was named after Ada Lovelace, the first programmer. -
C++
C++ is an Object-Oriented programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. It also allows for low-level memory manipulation. -
Java
Java is a class-based Object-Oriented language developed by James Gosling and Sun Microsystems. It is widely used today. -
Python
Python was developed by Guido van Rossum. It focuses n readability and good practices. -
Visual Basic
Visual Basic is an event driven language for rapid application development. -
Delphi
Delphi is an Object-Oriented Pascal. It was developed by Borland, but now by Embarcadero. -
Javascript
Brendan Eich developed this high-level, dynamic language. It has nothing to do with Java. -
PHP
It was developed by Ramsus Lerdorf for web design. It used to stand for Personal Home Page, but now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
