timeline of programming languages

By Alexis Rangel
  • Period: 1983 BCE to

    Objective-C

    (Object-oriented "C" extension) Extension of C, the message passing functionality is added based on the Smalltalk language.
  • Period: 1983 BCE to

    C++

    ("C with classes"; ++ is the increment operator in "C") It is an extension of C language, with improvements such as classes, virtual functions and templates.
  • Period: 1980 BCE to

    Ada

    (In honor of Ada Lovelace): It is derived from Pascal. Hired by the US Department of Defense in 1977 for the development of large software systems.
  • Period: 1972 BCE to

    C language

    (Based on a previous language called "B") Created for Unix systems. Many of the most popular programming languages in the world are derived from it, among them we have C #, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP and Python.
  • Period: 1970 BCE to

    Pascal

    (In honor of the French mathematician / physicist Blaise Pascal) Used for the teaching of structured programming and data structuring.
  • Period: 1969 BCE to

    4-C

    This language was developed between 1969 and 1973 by Dennis Ritchie for Bell Telephone Labs for use in the Unix system. It was called.
  • Period: 1964 BCE to

    BASIC

    ("Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code") Designed for simplicity. Its popularity exploded in the mid-70s with personal computers.
  • Period: 1959 BCE to

    Cobol

    ("Common Business-Oriented Language) Used primarily for business computing. It is the first programming language demanded by the US Department of Defense.
  • Period: 1958 BCE to 1958 BCE

    Lisp

    ("List Processor") Used for mathematical notation and computer science topics.
  • Period: 1957 BCE to 1957 BCE

    Fortran

    ("The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System"): A general-purpose, high-level programming language. For numerical and scientific calculation (as an alternative to assembly language). It is the oldest programming language used today.
  • Period: 1843 BCE to 1843 BCE

    Ada Lovelace

    develops the first programming language when he wrote an algorithm for the analytical machine of Charles Babbage.
