  • MATH-MATIC( AT-3)

    Made in 1955 by a team of people led by Charles Katz under the direction of Grace Hopper. It was made for the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. AT-3 stands for Algebraic Translator 3.
  • Lisp

    Made in 1956 by a man named John McCarthy and first used by a man named Steve Russell on the IBM 704 to make a Lisp Interpreter.
  • Fortran

    A general-purpose programming language made by IBM for scientific and engineering applications.
  • RPG

    A high-level programming language(HLL) made in 1959 by IBM for business applications. RPG stands for Report Program Generator.
  • COBOL

    A programming language made in 1959 by the Committee on Data Systems Languages(CODASYL), the American National Standards Institute(ANSI) and, the International Organization for Standardization(ISO) for business, finance, and administrative systems for business and government. COBOL stands for common business-oriented language.
  • BASIC

    A family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages made in 1964 by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz for students in fields other than science and mathematics. BASIC stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code
  • LOGO

    A educational programming language made in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and, Cynthia Solomon. It was made to teach concepts of programs like Lisp to students. LOGO is not an acronym.
  • Period: to

    PASCAL

    A procedural programming language made in the Late 60's by Niklaus Wirth made to to encourage good programming practices.
  • B

    A programming language made in 1969 at Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. B was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine-independent applications.
  • C

    A general-purpose, imperative computer programming language made in 1972 at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie. It was made to encourage cross-platform programming. One of the most used programming languages of all time.
  • ML

    A general-purpose functional programming language made in the early 1970's by Robin Milner and others at the University of Edinburgh. It was used for the polymorphic Hindley–Milner type system. ML stands for Meta Language.
  • SQL

    A domain-specific language made in the early 1970's by Donald D. Chamberlin, Raymond F. Boyce, International Organization for Standardization(ISO) and, International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC). Used in programming and design for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a RDSMS. SQL stands for Structured Query Language.
  • C++

    A general-purpose programming language made in 1979 by Bjarne Stroustrup, it was mainly used for
  • Python

    A high-level programming language made in 1989 by Guido van Rossum and, Python Software Foundation. It was made to allow programmers express concepts in fewer lines.
  • Visual Basic

    A event-driven programming language made in 1991 by Microsoft made for its Component Object Model (COM).
  • PHP

    A server-side scripting language made in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf and, Zend Technologies. Designed for web development. PHP used to stand for designed for web development but now it stands for Hypertext Preprocessor.
  • Delphi

    An event driven language made in 1995 by Borland. It was made for Windows (x86 and x64), OS X (32-bit only), iOS (32 and 64-bit), Android and Linux (64-bit Intel).
  • Java

    A general-purpose computer programming language made in 1995 by James Gosling and, Sun Microsystems/Oracle Corporation
  • ADA

    An object-oriented high-level computer programming language made in 1995 by Jean Ichbiah. It was made to supersede over 450 programming languages used by the DoD at that time.
  • JavaScript(JS)

    A high-level, dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based, multi-paradigm, and interpreted programming language made in 1995 by Brendan Eich, Netscape Communications Corporation, Mozilla Foundation and, Ecma International. It is used to make webpages interactive and provide online programs and, video games..
