List of high level programming language

APL

APL is an array programming language. It was named after the book A Programming Language. It was developed in the year 1962. It can work simultaneously on multiple arrays of data. It is interpretive, interactive and a functional programming language.

BASIC

It is an acronym for 'Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code'. It was designed with the intent of giving the non-science people an access to computers.

Lisp 

Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today. The name Lisp is derived from 'List Processing Language'. One of the important data structures that Lisp supports is linked list. Lisp programs deal with source code as a data structure.

Pascal

It is a procedural programming language that was intended to use data structuring and structured programming. It was named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and philosopher.

Perl

Perl is a high-level interpreted programming language that supports dynamic programming. It provides the programmers with text processing facilities and has a blend of features adopted from various languages like C, Lisp, and Awk.S

Python

 It is a high-level programming language that supports imperative, object-oriented, and functional programming paradigms. In its features like the dynamic type system and automatic memory management, it is similar to Perl.

Ruby

It is similar to Perl. It has an automatic memory management. It supports multiple programming paradigms and is a dynamic object-oriented language.

C

Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories developed C to be used on the UNIX platform. It is a general-purpose, cross-platform, procedural, imperative programming language.

C++ 

Bjarne Stroustrup of Bell Labs developed .cpp as an extension of the C language. It is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural programming, generic programming, object-oriented programming, and data abstraction.

C# 

C Sharp is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports imperative, generic and object-oriented programming. It is a part of the Microsoft .NET Framework

JAVA

 It is a very popular language of the modern times. Compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.

COBOL

 The name stands for Common Business-Oriented Language that is designed for the business and finance domain. It is one of the very old programming languages that are still in use.
