Let me begin by showing you this wonderful page that enlist the 2189 programming language. This 2189 languages are the crack behind the development of computer and it’s alias. Let’s revise what is programming language?

Programming Language serve as the co-ordinator between the developer and the computer. On my part I will say that the programming language allows the developer to put the logical real world actions into operations that can be performed on the computer hardware. Edsger Dijkstra asks…

“Are you quite sure that all those bells and whistles, all those wonderful facilities of your so called powerful programming languages, belong to the solution set rather than the problem set”

From the first generation machine code programming we have moved toward the latest GUI enabled Visual Studio 2005, Java, oracle and lots more. Non-Procedural language, artificial intelligence language, code-generation language and object oriented programming language are supposed to stand in the fourth generation list.

During the change of generations lots and lots of languages were developed. But we all have learned just bunch of languages, and are familiar with about 20-50 different languages. So to broaden our historical knowledge I have come up with this wonderful list. Also the development in programming language can’t be stopped because…

“The limits of your language are the limits of your world” as said by L. Wittgenstein

and we don’t want to limit world and hence keep increasing the list length.

For furthur reference:

• Google Directory Listing
• Computer Language TimeLine
• Alphabetic List of Programming Language

Note: List given at the beginning of the article, was documented late back, hence it doesn’t include the latest programming language like Java, Visual Basic and lot’s more.
