  • Fortran

    It was created by John Backus. Its acronym is FORmula TRANslation. It is used to allow easy translation of math formulas into code.
  • MATH-MATIC

    It was written by a team led by Charles Katz under the direction of Grace Hopper. It is used for functional programming.
  • Lisp

    John McCarthy developed it. It was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenced by the notation of Alonzo Church's lambda calculus but it quickly became the favored programming language for artificial intelligence (AI) research.
  • COBOL

    It was designed by Grace Hoppe. It was designed for finance, human resources and other business computer programs. Its acronym for common business-oriented language.

    It was developed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. It stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It was originally designed as an interactive mainframe time sharing language.
  • LOGO

    It was designed by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. It is often used for young school children as a basic method of programming instructions into a computer to create a graphic
  • B

    It was developed by D. M. Ritchie and K. L. Thompson. Its primary purpose is for primarily non-numeric applications such as system programming.
  • PASCAL

    It was developed by Niklaus Wirth. It is used as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • C

    It was developed by Dennis Ritchie. It is used for wide range of applications from Operating systems like Windows and iOS to software that is used for creating 3D movies.
  • ML

    It was developed by Robin Milner. Its stands for Metalanguage. It is used among compiler writers and programming language researchers, as well as in the development of theorem provers.
  • ADA

    It was developed by a team lead by Dr. Jean Ichbiah at CII-Honeywell-Bull in France. It is designed for large, long-lived applications and embedded systems where reliability and efficiency are essential.
  • C++

    It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. It used for game development and apps.
  • Java

    It was first developed by James Gosling. It is used to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network
  • JavaScript

    It was created by Brendan Eich. It is used to make webpages interactive and provide online programs, including video games.
  • PHP

    It is used in a general-purpose scripting language that is especially use to server-side web development. Its acronym is Hypertext Preprocessor. It was Originally developed by Rasmus Lerdorf.
  • Delphi

    Delphi was originally developed by Borland then developed by embarcadero technologies. It is used for desktop, mobile, web and console applications.
