C is very often referred as a “System
Programming Language” because it is used for writing
compilers, editors and even operating systems. C was
developed and implemented on the UNIX operating
system on the DEC PDP-11, by "Dennis M. Ritchie."
C was evolved during 1971-73 from B language of Ken
Thompson, which was evolved (in 1969-70) from
BCPL language of Martin Richards.

1965

Very popular high-level programming language, frequently used by beginning programmers.

C

Predecessor was Bell Laboratory's 1972 B Programming Language

1972

Compiled, structured, programming language commonly used in many workplaces because its programs are easy to transfer between different types of computers.

C++

Advanced version of C. Developed at ATT Bell Labs.

1985

C++ is used in numerous fields, such as accounting and finance systems, and computer-aided design. Supports object-oriented programming.

COmmon Business-Oriented Language

1959

English-like programming language, emphasizes data structures. Widely used, especially in businesses.

FORTH

FOuRTH-Generation language (4 GL)

1970

Interpreted, structured language, easily extended. Provides high functionality in limited space.

Fortran

FORmula TRANslation

1954

Initially designed for scientific and engineering uses, a high-level, compiled language now used in many fields. Introduced several concepts such as variables, conditional statements, and separately compiled subroutines.

HTML

HyperText Markup Language

1989

Designed for publishing hypertext on the Internet.

JAVA

1990

Originally developed for use in set-top boxes, transitioned to the World Wide Web in 1994.

LISP

LISt Processing

1960

LOGO

Derived from Greek logos, meaning word

1968

Programming language often used with children. Features a simple drawing environment and several higher-level features from LISP. Primarily educational.

Modula-2

MODULAr Language, designed as secondary phase of Pascal (Niklaus Wirth devised both)

1980

Language that emphasizes modular programming. High-level language based on Pascal, characterized by lack of standard functions and procedures.

Pascal

Blaise PASCAL, mathematician and inventor of first computing device

1971

Compiled, structured language, based on ALGOL. Adds data types and structures while simplifying syntax. Like C language, it is a standard development language for microcomputers.

PERL

Practical Extraction and Report Language

1988

It is a text-processing language that looks like a combination of C and several Unix text processing utilities.
