  • Fortran

    is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
  • MATH-MATIC

    Created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957.MATH-MATIC is the marketing name for the AT-3 compiler, an early programming language for the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II.
  • Lisp

    Lisp was invented by John McCarthy.
  • Cobol

  • Basic

    BASIC an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language. They wanted to enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers
  • Logo

    Designed by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. Logo is an educational programming language.
  • B

    Developed at Bell Labs circa. It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie. B was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine independent applications, such as system and language software.
  • Pascal

    It was used as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • C

    C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie. It was used to re-implement the Unix operating system.
  • ML

    ML is a general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner and others
  • SQL

    is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data.
  • C++

    It is designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded,
  • Python

    Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language.
  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic is a legacy third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment from Microsoft for its COM programming model first released in 1991.
  • ADA

    Ada was named after Ada Lovelace (1815–1852), who is credited as being the first computer programmer. Ada aims to improve the safety and maintainability by leveraging the compiler to find compile-time errors in favor of runtime errors
  • Delphi

    is an integrated development environment for console, desktop graphical, web, and mobile applications
  • Java

    It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere.
  • Javascript

    JavaScript was originally developed by Brendan Eich,
