FAMOUS PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES



1. Java

 An object-oriented programming language developed in the late 1990s by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems.

This “beautiful” programming language is central for any non-Microsoft developer, i.e. any developer who focuses on the non-.NET experience. It is mostly derived from C and C++ but has a more basic object model. It ranked first on TIOBE’s list of most popular programming languages.




2. C

C, a general purpose programming language built by Dennis Ritchie when he was a part of Bell Telephone labs, is the bass of C++ and other programming languages. It was built to work with the Unix operating system.




3. C#

This general-purpose programming language developed by Microsoft evolved from C and C++ as a part of the software company’s .NET initiative




4. C++

C++ is a general purpose multi-paradigm spanning compiled language that has both high-level and low-level languages’ features. It was started as an enhancement to the C programming language, Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979.




5. Objective-C

This object-oriented programming language created first by Brad Cox and Tom Love at their company Stepstone in the early 1980s, adds Smalltalk-like messaging to the C programming language.




6. PHP

This language is especially suited for Web development because of it easy embedding into HTML pages. It is an open-source, server-side, cross-platform, interpretive HTML scripting language




7. (Visual) Basic

This is an event-driven programming language which is implemented on Microsoft’s .Net framework.




8. Python

This is an event-driven programming language which is extensively used by Google because of its simplicity. It is managed by the Python SoftwareFoundation.



9. Perl

Being a high-level programming language, its emphasis lies in code readability and clear syntax. It combines Object-oriented and functional programming styles, and is often used as a scripting language. Perl is an open-source language used widely to process text 





10. JavaScript

JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language that is smaller than Java. Being a client-side language, it runs in the web browser on the client-side with a simplified set of commands, easier code and no need for compilation.
