The Evolution of Programming Languages

The journey of programming languages reflects the progression of computing. Early


languages were created for specific hardware, while modern languages focus on versatility
and human readability.

Key Milestones in Programming Language History:

 1940s: Machine Code and Assembly Language. Computers were programmed using
binary instructions.
 1957: FORTRAN (Formula Translation). The first high-level language focused on
scientific computations.
 1970: Pascal. Designed for teaching structured programming concepts.
 1972: C. Developed for system programming, forming the base for many modern
languages.
 1991: Python. Known for its simplicity and readability, popular for web development,
AI, and data science.

Impact:
Programming languages evolved to simplify development, improve performance, and adapt
to changing technological needs. They continue to shape innovations in all areas of
computing.
