history of programming languages









































the first high-level programming language was plankalkül, created by konrad zuse between 1942 and 1945. the first high-level language to have an associated compiler was created by corrado böhm in 1951, for his phd thesis. the first commercially available language was fortran (formula translation); developed in 1956 (first manual appeared in 1956, but first developed in 1954) by a team led by john backus at ibm.
history of programming languages
an advantage that's reappearing post-2000 is safety or security. mainstream it has largely moved to languages with type and/or memory safety for most applications. the software those depend on, from os to virtual machines, leverage native code with no protection. many vulnerabilities have been found in such code. one solution is to use a processor custom built to execute a safe high level language or at least understand types. protections at the processor word level make attackers' job difficult compared to low level machines that see no distinction between scalar data, arrays, pointers, or code. academics are also developing languages with similar properties that might integrate with high level processors in the future. an example of both of these trends is the safe project. compare language-based systems, where the software (especially operating system) is based around a safe, high-level language, though the hardware need not be: the "trusted base" may still be in a lower level language.
