1843: Machine Algorithm
Ada Lovelace invents the first-ever machine algorithm for Charles Babbageâs Difference Machine that lays the foundation for all programming languages.

1945: PlankalkĂŒl
In 1945, Konrad Zuse developed the first ârealâ programming language called PlankalkĂŒl.
Zeusâs language allowed for the creations of procedures, which stored chunks of code that could be invoked over and over to perform routine operations.

1949: Assembly Language
Assembly language was used in the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC).
Assembly language was a type of low-level programming language that simplified the language of machine code.

1949: Shortcode
Shortcode (or Short-order code), was the first High-Level Language (HLL) suggested by John McCauley in 1949.
However, it was William Schmitt who implemented it for the BINAC computer the same year and for the UNIVAC in 1950.

1952: Autocode
Autocode was a general term used for a family of programming languages.
Autocode was the first-ever compiled language to be implemented meaning that it can be translated directly into machine code using a program called a compiler.

1970: PASCAL
Niklaus Wirth developed the language in honor of Blaise Pascal. It was developed as a learning tool for computer programming which meant it was easy to learn.
It was favored by Apple in the early days, because of its ease of use and power.
