Fortran
• FORTRAN or formula translation was the first high level programming language (software) invented by John Backus for IBM in 1954, and released commercially in 1957. Fortran is still used today for programming scientific and mathematical applications.
LISP
• LISP, an acronym for list processing, is a programming language that was designed for easy manipulation of data strings. Developed in 1959 by John McCarthy, it is a commonly used language for artificial intelligence (AI) programming. It is one of the
oldest programming languages still in relatively wide use.
ALGOL
• (ALGOrithmic Language) A high-level compiler language that was developed as an international language for the expression of algorithms between people and between people and machines. ALGOL-60 (1960) was simple and
widely used in Europe. ALGOL-68 (1968) was more complicated and scarcely used, but was the inspiration for Pascal.
COBOL
• COBOL is a third generation programming languageis an acronym that stands for Common
Business-Oriented Language. Its primary use is in the fields of business, finance,
and administrative systems for various companies and governments. It also is responsible for some of the back end computing behind online financial transaction and payroll services.
APL
• APL is used in scientific,actuarial,statistical, and financial applications where it is used by practitioners for their own work and by programmers to develop commercial applications. It was an important influence on the development of spreadsheets, functional programming,and computer
• math packages developed by• Kenneth E. Iverson
SIMULA
• The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC) in Olslo between 1962 and
1967, Simula was designed for doing simulations, and the needs of that domain provided the framework for many of the features of object-oriented languages today.
SNOBOL
SNOBOL, which is the acronym for
String-Oriented Symbolic Language,
was invented in 1962 by Bell Labs. SNOBOL then progressed until it reached it's finally implementation
in 1967 called SNOBOL4. SNOBOL4 was implemented using string macros. This realized a virtual machine so that it could be implemented on a variety of different machines.
