    Created by: Konrad Zuse
    An early plan for a programming language designed for engineering purposes
  • FORTRAN

    Created by: John Backus
    A general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing
  • MATH-MATIC

    Created by: Charles Katz
    A commercial compiler for its UNIVAC
  • Lisp

    Created by: Steve Russell, Timothy P. Hart, and Mike Levin
    Created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs
  • COBOL

    Created by: Grace Hopper, William Selden, Gertrude Tierney, Howard Bromberg, Howard Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet
  • RPG

    Created by: IBM
    A popular programming language on the IBM Power I platform

    Designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College
    Acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code
  • LOGO

    Created by: Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert
    Conceived to teach concepts of programming related to LISP
  • B

    Created by: Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie
    Designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine independent applications
    Derived from BCPL
  • C

    Created by: Dennis Ritchie
    A general-purpose programming language
  • PASCAL

    Created by: Niklaus Wirth
    A small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring
  • ML

    Created by: Robin Milner
    Conceived to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem
    Stands mor metalanguage
  • ADA

    Created by: Jean Ichbiah and Tucker Taft
    Modern programming language designed for large, long-lived applications and emended systems
  • C++

    Created by: Bjarne Stroustrup
    A general-purpose programming language with a bias for systems programming
  • Delphi

    Created by: Apple, Niklaus Wirth and Anders Hejlsberg
    An IDE for console, desktop, and web applications
  • Python

    Created by: Guido van Rossum
    emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code
  • Java

    Created by: James Gosling and Sun Microsystems
    Was intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere
  • Javascript

    Created by: Netscape Communications Corporation, Mozilla Foundation
