History of development of programming languages:

The importance of computer programming languages in today's world is irreplaceable. Programming languages basically help us to write code which will be easier to convert to a low level language that the machine can understand.

$1883-$The first programming language was created in $1883,$when Ana Lovelace wrote an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute bernoulli numbers of Charles Babbage.

$1949-$ This is the year in which Assembly Language came into picture and was used in Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator.

$1952$:$-$Autocode was developed by Alick Glennie for the Mark $1$ computer and is considered as the first compilable language.

$1957-$Fortran stands for Formula Translation. It is the one of the oldest computer programming languages still used today.

$1958-$ Algol stands for Algorithmic Language. Algol served as a starting point in the development of languages such as Pascal, C$,$ C$++,$ and Java.

$1959-$ COBOL stands for COmmon Business Oriented Language. It is used in ATMs, credit card processing, telephone systems, etc

$1959-$ LISP stands for LISt Processing language. It was originally created for artificial intelligence research but today can be used in situations where Ruby or Python are used.

$1970-$ Pascal was developed by Niklaus Wirth and was named after mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal played a very impirtant role in early years of Apple.

$1972-$ C was developed by Dennis Ritchie and it is the first of the high level language. High level language is more easier for the coder to understand than any of the other languages and can be easily converted to machine code using a compiler.

$1972-$ SQL was developed by Donald D$.$ Chamberlin and Raymond F$.$ Boyce at IBM. SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is used for manipulating data that is stored in databases. SQL uses command sentences called queries to add, remove, or view data.

$1978-$ MATLAB was developed by Cleve Moler. MATLAB stands for Matrix Laboratory. It is one of the best computer programming languages for writing mathematical programs and is mainly used in mathematics.

$1983-$C$++$ is an extension of the C language and was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup.It is an pbject oriented programming language.

$1991-$ Python was developed by Guido Van Rossum, Python is easier to read and requires fewer lines of code than many other computer programming languages.

$1991$:$-$Visual Basic was developed by Microsoft.It has drag and drop capabilities and is even used today.

$1995-$ Java is a very popular programming language $,$ which was formally known as Oak. since it is platform independent it is used everywhere from smartphones to parking meters.

$1995-$Ruby was created by Yukihiro Matsumoto, and it is widely used in web programming $.$ It is easier to understand than other programming languages but is slower to run.

$1995-$JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich, which is a front end programming language which is mainly used to manipulate HTML pages.

$2000-$ C# is also developed by Microsoft, it is mainly used for Web development $.$
