Brief history on programming languages.
We can’t imagine a single moment without use of computer and internet today and it become necessary routine of our life but behind the use of computer and internet there are many computer languages involved and of course our dedicated programmer who always uses these programming languages to write software / web application and keep themselves in innovating new things such as design of interface or logic of the program and big thanks to them!
Following are the programming languages based on historical advancement and implementation in various real-time applications.
| Sr no | Programming language | Application | Used by |
| 1 | FORTRAN [Formula Transfer]
[1957] used for scientific, mathematics purpose etc. |
Artificial intelligence application, supercomputing and business software’s | NASA |
| 2 | LISP [List processor]
[1958] |
Artificial intelligence application, supercomputing and business software’s | NASA |
| 3 | COBOL [Common Business Oriented Language]
[1959], used for developing commercial purpose. |
Business application | Various companies |
| 4 | PASCAL [1970], best for academic purpose and data structures programs widely used until 80’s. Developed by Niklaus writh. | Windows applications, teaching programming language for many universities. | Skype [Microsoft] |
| 5 | C Language [1972], general purpose low-level programming language. Developed by Dennis Ritchie. | Cross platform programming language, OS development, System side applications etc. | Unix |
| 6 | C++ [1983], it is also called “C with classes”, object oriented programming language. Developed by BJarne Stroustrup. | Commercial application development. Client / server applications, multimedia applications etc. | Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Mozilla, Chrome etc. |
| 7 | Objective C [1983], general purpose high-level programming language. Developed by Brad Cox and Tam Love. | Message passing. OS development [Apple] | Apple’s X OS |
