Computer Languages

By Josh_Bitgood

  • Plankalkül

    Plankalkül
    Created by Konrad Zuse in May of 1945. He created Plankalkül for his Z4 computer. Even though it did not lead to practical use, it is still used in today's computer programming.

  • Fortran

    Fortran
    Created in 1957 by John Backus for IBM; FORTRAN is a high-level programming language used mainly for solving problems in science and engineering.

  • Algol60

    Algol60
    Short fro ALGOrithmic Language 1960, ALGOL is in the family of computer programming languages. It introduced code blocks and the begin and end pairs doe delimiting them.

  • Cobol

    Cobol
    Cobol was invented in 1960 and is particularly suited for writing programs to process large files of data.

  • Lisp

    Lisp
    Lisp was invented in 1962 by John McCarthy; an Artificial Intelligence (AI) pioneer; Lisp is a high-level programming language that processes data in the form of lists.

  • PL/I

    PL/I
    PL/I is a third-generation programming language as an alternative to assembler language, COBOL, and FORTRON.

  • BASIC

    BASIC
    Invented by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. BASIC stands for Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code and is a family of general purpose, high-level programming whose designs philosophy emphasizes ease of use.

  • Simula67

    Simula67
    Developed in 1967 by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard. Designed for simulations and it provides the framework of many features.

  • Algol68

    Algol68
    Designed in 1968 being used for a much wider scope of application and more rigorously define syntax ad semantics.

  • Pascal

    Pascal
    Invented in 1971 and names after the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. The Pascal had developed Euler and ALGOL W and later went on to develop the Pascal-like languages Modula-2 and Oberon.

  • Prolog

    Prolog
    Built in 1972 for Logic Programming and Symbolic Computation. Also used in the Artificial Intelligence work place.

  • C

    C
    Created in 1972, designed by Dennis Ritchie ideally for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing system software.

  • Ada

    Ada
    Ada was introduced in 1979 by J. Ichibiah. Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, wide-spectrum, and object-oriented high-level computer programming system.

  • Smalltalk

    Smalltalk
    Smalltalk was invented by A. Kay used as an object-oriented, dynamically typed, reflective programming language. Created to underpin the "new world" of computing exemplified by "human–computer symbiosis."

  • C++

    C++
    Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, an extension of C language. It is possible to code C++ in a "C style" or "object-oriented style." It is considered to be an intermediate level language, as it encapsulates both high and low level language features.

  • ML

    ML
    ML is a general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner in 1984. The ML more compact and readable than languages that requires explicit type declarations.

  • Perl

    Perl
    Perl; who was created by Larry Wall, is a script programming language that is similar in syntax to the C language and that includes a number of popular UNIX facilities. It is an interpreted language that can optionally be compiled

  • Python

    Python
    G. van Rossum created python and is a widely used high-level, interpreted, dynamic programming language used to to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java.

  • Java

    Java
    Java was created by by Sun Microsystems. Java is a concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
