Correction: The first date for the algorithm of the analytical machine should be closer to the mid 1830's, not 1883; as both Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage were no longer around during that year. The source I was referring to was incorrect.

As someone famous once said somewhere; to know where you are going, you have to know where you have been. Therefore, whether you're studying computer science in college, you're a programming language enthusiast or a history buff; the brief history of programming languages will satisfy your unquenchable thirst for knowledge (maybe).

Computer programming languages have evolved greatly over time (as well as the computer itself). From Fortran to Python and Basic to Swift, programming languages have added and taken away features for decades. Throughout this video, I give a brief summary of a majority of the most influential programming languages over the decades.

Comment down below what your favorite programming language is!

Fun fact: C# used to be C++++ (since C++ was an iteration from C, C# was an iteration from C++)

[leuat]

Fun fact: What is displayed in the terminator vision *is't* COBOL, but (Apple2 II) MOS6502 assembly code (complete with some zero page definitions)

[hash]

I thought that python was created recently. it's older than Java XD

[InventorZahran]

7:23 Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (which is played on consoles, tablets, smartphones, and Windows 10) is in fact written in C++. It performs much better on lower-powered hardware, compared to the original Java-based Minecraft.

In 1991 engineering school, we had to learn FORTRAN. It was awful - syntax hell on old green-screen terminals and tractor-fed printers in the computer lab.

Then, the final week, our professor walked us through a comparison with C. It was like night and day. I was like, “Why did we waste an entire semester learning this archaic crap?!!!”

[davidealessandri]

My english teacher made my class watch this video to learn about programming languages, but then she asked us what 4chan was.
I'll just say that she said we needed to censor that detail and move on and we had a good laugh. Thank you for that

1:18 Neither is assembly. Assembly is a general term for a language that is just readable machine code
2:34 Grace Hopper did not design COBOL, a committee did. She designed a language called FLOW-MATIC and the committee based COBOL off of that

[MrMirville]

You forget APL and PL/1 : they were once the two most used by IBM, the first for interactive accounting the second as a coalescence of COBOL, FORTRAN and ALGOL that was supposed to replace them all.

[KirboFrrr]

you are a live saver man, i had no idea how i was going to find all the research for my paper in time but this video gave me every piece of info to me down to the most minuet detail

Greetings from Mexico
Our teacher just put this video during the coding class and it was a huge and funny work, hope you get more subscribers soon.

I'm in.

[theathletics]

Dude this was very good! Like, seriously, how do you not have more subs than this?

[trevorsatori]

This is dope but I was wondering how they put the algorithm on the computer. Like how Tf did someone start saudering metal into a board than from there start typing on the pc? I know this is noobie but this baffles me

[helenamaijaavotina]

This was an amazing video man, helped me so much to make my presentation on programming languages for school. Super concise and informative

[markelowitz]

I watched several videos on the history of programming languages, and I am surprised that none of them mentioned a language called Prolog. Prolog was excellent in the field of medical diagnostics, and other AI applications that required significant man-machine interface.

I have programmed professionally in APL, BASIC, and 8080 and Z-80 Assembly Language. I have designed two languages, one that programmed each of 5 robots in a maze environment, called R-code, and the other called LIM, for Limited Instruction Model, which has only 26 reserved words. Correction for you: The terminator visual display was not cobol. It was 6502 Assembly. All good wishes.

5:32 Narrator: "During the 1980's, C began to gain traction..."

The video: **shows an image of a traction engine**

[mannhansen]

Nice video. You forgot to mention Simula. Object Oriented language developed i Norway in 1967.

[TigerPrawn_]

I'm looking for videos that explain the history of the purpose and function of programming languages and how they were able to do new things over time, rather than a list of all the ones that were invented. Anyone got any tips?

[so_honeypark]

I'm a newbie just started to study programming. This video is very interesting! :)

Our professor assigned to us a homework to summarize your clip. Although, it is a 15+ minutes to watch, but it takes more than one hour to watch, listen and summarize "The Brief History of Programming Languages". To be honest, till the mid of the clip, I had feeling of hate towards you! Later on, when I reached the end, also I felt so relieve, I recognized how massive the effort you spent to summarize the history. So, thank you so much and I liked it :)

Cheers!
