Plankalkul
Plankalkul(Plan Calculus) is a programming language developed by Konrad Zuse between 1942 and 1945. It was the first high level programming language to be designed for a computer.

Fortran
Formtran(Formula Translation) was created in 1957 by John Backus, it shortened the process of programming. Backus was frustrated with the old computer programming language which caused him to make an easier language to understand and use. Fortran made rapid writing of computer programs possible at an efficient pace.

MATH-MATIC
Made in 1957 by Charles Katz, it was the early UNIVAC 1 and 2 language. Intended as an improvement of FORTRAN
Citation -
COBOL
COBOL, Common Business-Oriented Language, is a high level computer programming language. First widely used language, and the most popular language in the business community. Developed in 1959, it was created to fulfill two major sectors, portability and readability.
Citation -
RPG
High level programming language for business applications made by IBM. Was meant to replicate punched card processing -
BASIC
BASIC, or Beginners all-purpose symbolic instruction code, was designed at Dartmouth College. Founded by John Kemeny in the 1960's, it was meant to be easy for beginners. Typically used for people who were not computer-science majors, it had simple data structures and notation, it was translated line by line.

Lisp
Created in 1960 by John McCarthy at MIT, Lis was based on recursive mathematical function. Lisp programs are functions applied to data rather than procedural sequences. The operations are normally put into parentheses. Common language for AI programming
Citation -
LOGO
Written in the late 1960s as a simplified Lisp dialect. Used in education at MIT. Had a more conventional syntax than Lisp, and offered a simple method for generating computer graphics.
Citation -
B
B is a computer language that was created by D. M. Ritchie and K. L. Thompson for non-numeric applications. They typically involve complex and logical decision making, and they process integers, characters, and bit strings. Much easier to write and understand than assembly language programs, good at object code.

C
C, was developed in the early 1970's by Dennis M. Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. Designed as a minimalist language used in writing operating systems for minicomputers. The language was devised during 1969-73, and it was alongside the development of the UNIX operation system.
Citation -
PASCAL
Computer programming language made in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth to teach programming. PASCAL resembled ALGOL and allowed the ability to define data types and organize complex information these were features that ALGOL did not have.

SQL
Standard computer language meant for relational database management. Made by Raymond Boyce and Donald Chamberlin -
ML
Ml is short for Meta Language and it was made by the academic community for research papers
Citation -
ADA
Named after Augusta Ada King, an assistant of Charles Babbage. Augusta is considered the first programmer, ADA is a language developed in the 1980's for the U.S. Department of Defense, used for large scale programming. It combined Pascal like notation, but it could package data and operations into independent modules. The first version which is known as ADA 83 was not as useful as ADA 95.
Citation -
C++
C++, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the mid 1980's. It extended C by adding objects while preserving the efficiency of it. One of the most important languages in education and industrial programming.
Citation -
Java
Java was made by Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the early 1990s to be used as a programming language for the world wide web. Java used lower level features that were not useful for distributed systems. It was used to program small portable devices like cell phones.
Citation -
Python
Python is a high level computer language that was Guido Van Rossum. It was made to make programming on small and large scales clear and easier -
Visual Studio
Combines the ability of multiple other computer languages, 36 in total. Made by Microsoft -
PHP
Server side language developed for web development. Created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. Can be put into HTML code or various web template systems. Usually processed by a PHP interpreter.
Citation -
Delphi
Delphi is an IDE(integrated development environment) for rapid application development. Developed by Embarcadero Technologies, it is an event driven language used to make code for different OS
Citation -
Javascript
Developed by Netscape it is used in web development. Javascript was created to add dynamic elements to websites. Influenced by Java but the syntax is similar to C. Can be inserted anywhere in the HTML of a webpage.
