  • Plankalkul

    Designed for engineering purposes, Knorad Zuse, between 1943 and 1945

  • Fortran

    1956, IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System, John Backus
    • Java-James Gosling and cooleagues at Sun Microsystems, early 1990s, made to have more uniformity and simplicity than the C and C++ languages.

  • MATH-MATIC

    Grace Hopper, a reinvention of earlier innovation, A-0 Compiler, marketing name for AT-3 compiler

  • Lisp

    1958, originally created as a practical mathematical notation for programs, LISt Processor, John McCarthy

  • RPG

    Report Program Generator, made by IBM

  • COBOl

    Conference on Data Systems Languages made it, made to be common ground for different softwares and by relation, companies. COmmon Business-Oriented Language

  • Basic

    John Kemeny, Thomas Kurtz, Beginner’s All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, first successful use 1964, May 1st, Used to teach people to program and it went from there.

  • LOGO

    1967, Daniel Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, Cynthia Solomon. Made to teach programming concepts.

  • PASCAL

    • 1968-69, Niklaus Wirth, made to be a small and efficient language to encourage good programming practices.

  • B

    1969, Bell Labs, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, From BCPL, made for system and language software and related software.

  • ML

    • Early 1970s, Robin Milner, stands for metalanguage, made to make proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover.

  • SQL

    Early 1970s,Structured Query Language, designed for managing data held in a relational database/stream processing in a relational data stream, Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce

  • C

    between 1969 and 1973, Dennis Ritchie, used to re-implement UNIX operating system

  • ADA

    Ada is a modern programming language designed for large, long-lived applications – and embedded systems in particular – where reliability and efficiency are essential. It was originally developed in the early 1980s (this version is generally known as Ada 83) by a team led by Dr. Jean Ichbiah at CII-Honeywell-Bull in France.

  • Python

    1989, Guido van Rossum, made as a successor to the ABC language

  • Visual Basic

    1991, Alan Cooper, made to be an easy to use/learn program.

  • PHP

    Designed for web development/general purpose programming, Made by Rasmus Lerdorf, 1994

  • Delphi

    Embarcadero Delphi, Borland, rapid application development tool, 1995

  • Javascript

    Brendan Erich, as a client side scripting language, 1995

  • C++

    Conference on Data Systems Languages made it, made to be common ground for different softwares and by relation, companies. COmmon Business-Oriented Language
