  • FLOW-MATIC

    FLOW-MATIC, originally known as B-0 (Business Language version 0), was the first English-like data processing language. (did not have an exact date)
  • XPL

    XPL is a programming language based on PL/I, and a portable one-pass compiler written in its own language, and a parser generator tool for easily implementing similar compilers for other languages. (No exact date)
  • PILOT

    Simple language for automating learning tests called Computest. (No exact date)
  • ALGOL 68

    ALGOL 68 (short for ALGOrithmic Language 1968) is an imperative computer programming language that was conceived as a successor to the ALGOL 60 programming language, designed with the goal of a much wider scope of application and more rigorously defined syntax and semantics. (No exact date)
  • ABAP

    ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming, originally Allgemeiner Berichts-Aufbereitungs-Prozessor, German for "general report creation processor"[3]) is a high-level programming language created by the German software company SAP. It is currently positioned, alongside Java, as the language for programming the SAP Application Server, which is part of the NetWeaver platform for building business applications. (No exact date)
  • C++

    C++ is a general-purpose programming language. It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation.(This happened some time in December)
  • A+

    A+ is an array programming language descendent from the programming language A, which in turn was created to replace APL in 1988. (No exact date)
  • Java

    Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented,and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.(No exact date)
  • Boo

    Boo is an object-oriented, statically typed, general-purpose programming language that seeks to make use of the Common Language Infrastructure's support for Unicode, internationalization, and web applications, while using a Python-inspired syntax and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.

  • TypeScript

    TypeScript is a free and open source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing and class-based object-oriented programming to the language. (No exact date)
