Fortran
FORTRAN or formula translation was the first high-level programming language (software) invented by John Backus. Fort- stands for formula and -tran stands for translator. -
Lisp
Lisp was developed by John McCarthy while he was at MIT. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs. -
COBOL
