-
Plankalkul
Created for Konrad Zuse. It provides a data structure called "generalized graph", which can be used to represent geometrical structures. In German, it means "Plan Calculus". -
FORTRAN
Created by IBM. It is a numeric computation and scientific computing. Acronym for FORmula TRANsition. -
MATH-MATIC
Created by a team lead by Charles Katz. It provides algebraic-style expressions and floating-point arithmetic. Also allows for lager programs, automatically generated code, to read overlay segments from UNISERVO tape as required. Marketing name for AT-3, which is Algebraic Translator 3. -
Lisp
Created by John McCarthy. Originally used as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, but later became used for artificial intelligence. -
COBOL
Created by Grace Murray Hopper. Designed for business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. Acronym for Common Business-Oriented Language. -
RPG
Created by IMB. It is a high-level programming language for business applications. Acronym for Report Program Generator. -
BASIC
Created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. It was used to unlock the power of the computer in business and other realms of academia. Acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. -
LOGO
Created by Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert. It is educational and known for its turtle graphics. It is an adaptation of Lisp -
B
Created by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. It designed for a recursive, non-numeric machine independent applications, such as systems and language software. -
PASCAL
Created by Niklaus Wirth. It is a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structures. -
C
Created by Dennis Richie. Supports structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, while a static-type system prevents many unintended operations. -
ML
Created by Robin Milner and others. It was conceived to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover and is known for using Hindley-Milner tape system. Acronym for MetaLanguage. -
SQL
Created by ISO. It retrieves and manages data in a relational database management system as well as database schema and access control management. Acronym for Structured Query Language. -
C++
Created by Bjarne Stroustrup. Imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. -
ADA
Created by Jean Ichbiah. It was designed for large, long-lived applications and embedded systems in particular where reliability and efficiency are essential. -
Python
Created by Guido van Rossum. It is a designed philosophy which emphasizes code readability and a syntax, which allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as Java and C++. -
Visual Basic
Created by Alan Cooper. It lets programmers use a graphical user interface (GUI) to choose and modify pre-selected sections of code written in BASIC. -
Delphi
Created by Borland originally. Created for software development kit (SDK) for desktop, mobile, web, and console applications. -
Java
Created by James Gosling. It lets application developers write codes that can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. -
Javascript
Created by Brendan Eich. It controls web pages on the client side of the browser, server side programs, and even mobile applications. -
PHP
Created by Rasmus Lerdorf. It is a server-side web development. It was an acronym for Hypertext Preprocessor.
