there are more than 8,000 programming
0:01
languages but only about 50 to 100 are
0:04
widely used in industry and I'm going to
0:06
explain all of them start from number 59
0:08
to one and bonus languages let's start
0:10
with assembly a low-level programming
0:12
language allowing humans to give
0:14
instructions to the computer's hardware
0:16
you see computers can only do things in
0:17
terms of zero or one so assembly was
0:20
created in order to make computer
0:21
instructions more workable for human
0:23
beings this works by using an assembler
0:25
that translates human readable code into
0:27
ones and zeros assembly is one of the
0:29
world's first programming languages and
0:31
it's used to be the standard to run
0:32
supercomputers back in the day but you
0:34
still find it used currently to work
0:36
with CPU memory and it's used sometimes
0:38
in browsers via web assembly 58 Forton
0:41
is one of the world's first high-level
0:43
languages i make a video about it on
0:45
this channel check the video ladder if
0:46
you want to learn more the difference
0:48
between a highle language and a
0:49
low-level language in a low-level
0:51
language you can manipulate the
0:52
computer's memory much more directly it
0:54
also executes much faster than a high-le
0:56
language the drawback is that it's much
0:58
harder to learn a highle language is
1:00
much easier to understand and there's a
1:02
lot of support but the code is much
1:03
slower forran was created by IBM in the
1:06
1950s the name stands for formula
1:08
translator programming in Forran would
1:10
be done by using a punch card then would
1:11
be fed into a card reader and would be
1:13
translated into code that the computer
1:15
can understand this translating process
1:17
is called compiling which basically
1:19
changes the code that humans can read
1:21
into the ones and zeros computers can
1:23
understand 57 camtin also known as
1:26
commercial translator is another
1:28
programming language developed by IBM it
1:30
served as the business equivalent to
1:31
forrron in which forrron was used for
1:33
scientific computing it was influenced
1:35
by another programming language called
1:37
flowmatic a programming language for
1:39
data processing that ran on this giant
1:41
supercomput called the univac 1 number
1:44
56 lisp also known as lisp processing
1:46
was created soon afterron it's known for
1:49
using a lot of parentheses in its code
1:51
it was an innovative language which
1:52
inspired these concepts in programming
1:54
55 Cobalt standing for common
1:56
businessoriented language was a
1:58
programming language developed in 1959
2:00
for you guessed it businesses even
2:02
though it was made so long ago it is
2:03
still used today by many financial
2:05
institutions to process transactions the
2:07
code looks like plain English sentences
2:09
but this would later be translated onto
2:11
a punch card one of the first adopters
2:13
of the language was the US Department of
2:15
Defense 54th IBM RPG IBM report program
2:19
generator is a programming language
2:21
created by IBM meant to run on IBM
2:23
systems it's one of the only programming
2:25
languages to make use of rows and
2:27
columns for its code 53rd al 60 short
2:30
for algorithmic language igal 60 is not
2:33
a very well-known programming language
2:35
but is one of the languages that
2:36
inspired one of the most well-known
2:38
programming languages in the world
2:40
called C it was also one of the first
2:41
programming languages to use nested
2:43
functions 52nd APL standing for a
2:46
programming language first appeared in
2:47
the 1960s is a programming language
2:50
developed for mathematical equations
2:52
mostly algebra it uses a lot of math and
2:54
Greek symbols directly in the code 51st
2:56
Simula a programming language made many
2:58
decades ago that was one of the world's
3:00
first object-oriented languages
3:02
object-oriented programming is a way for
3:04
programmers to use blocks of code that
3:06
are reusable and can interact with each
3:08
other instead of pure functions and
3:10
logic in object-oriented programming use
3:13
blocks of code called objects objects
3:15
are created by things called classes
3:17
which contain properties and can use
3:18
methods to explain it simply you can
3:20
create a class called Pokémon name the
3:22
object Charmander give it properties
3:24
such as fire type and allow it to
3:25
execute methods such as flamethrower and
3:27
scratch 50 speak easy a programming
3:30
language that was mainly used by
3:31
physicists in the 60s it's known for
3:33
using a colon underscore in its code
3:35
49th basic the beginner's allpurpose
3:38
symbolic instruction code was created at
3:40
Dartmouth in 1963 it was created with
3:42
the purpose of getting the average lay
3:44
person to be able to learn how to code
3:46
you see before that time programming had
3:48
only been the domain of scientists and
3:49
mathematicians this was because of its
3:51
easy to understand syntax syntax is
3:53
basically the rules to writing in a
3:55
programming language 48th MUS mumps aka
3:58
the Massachusetts General Hospital
3:59
Utility Multi-programming System or
4:01
sometimes just M for short was created
4:03
to manage hospital laboratory
4:05
information systems it was also used to
4:07
manage electronic health records its
4:08
code tends to be very tur which means
4:10
you can take most of its word commands
4:12
and abbreviate them into simple short
4:14
letters number 47 logo this is an
4:16
educational programming language made in
4:18
the '60s which makes use of what is
4:20
known as a turtle graphic not an actual
4:22
turtle it's the name of the cursor used
4:24
to draw geometric shapes as determined
4:26
by the code 46 pascal a programming
4:28
language that was very popular in the
4:30
70s even being the default language for
4:32
many computers back in the day it was
4:34
one of the first programming languages
4:36
to be used by an IDE which is an
4:38
integrated development environment
4:40
basically a dedicated program to write
4:42
its code one of the most well-known
4:44
programs created with Pascal was
4:45
Photoshop number 45 C this is a
4:48
programming language created in the 70s
4:50
that is one of the most popular
4:51
programming languages of all time
4:53
created at Bell Labs it is the basis of
4:55
many operating systems such as Windows
4:56
and Linux it also inspired many
4:58
programming languages that came after it
5:00
such as C++ C Objective C Go Java
5:04
JavaScript PHP Python and many more it's
5:07
known for its low-level access to the
5:09
computer's memory by using code called
5:11
pointers computer memory was much more
5:13
of a finite resource than the past so
5:15
programmers had to be much more careful
5:16
about how they allocated it otherwise
5:18
it'll cause problems such as memory
5:20
leaks which is basically when programs
5:21
use up too much memory in your computer
5:23
causing the computer to become painfully
5:25
slow 44 small talk a programming
5:27
language in the 70s that was known for
5:28
its object-oriented programming it
5:30
inspired many object-oriented
5:32
programming languages that came after it
5:34
next we have prologue known as the first
5:36
logic programming language it is known
5:38
for being modeled after formal logic in
5:40
philosophy 43rd ML also known as metal
5:42
language pioneered statically typed
5:44
functional programming which basically
5:46
means giving information on certain
5:48
types such as strings integers floats or
5:50
booleans strings are just words and
5:52
letters integers are whole numbers
5:54
floats are real numbers so they can be
5:56
decimals and boolean is something that
5:58
can be either true or false 42nd SQL
6:01
also known as structured query language
6:03
also called SQL is a language used for
6:06
creating and managing databases you
6:08
store information in things called
6:09
tables and structure them with rows and
6:11
columns the code also looks like plain
6:14
English sentences it is used by many
6:16
systems even today to store their data
6:18
such as usernames and passwords
6:20
transactions account information and
6:22
more basically think of it as a system
6:24
of Excel spreadsheets 41st C++ an
6:27
extension of the C programming language
6:29
the major difference is C++ has
6:31
object-oriented programming unlike the
6:34
original C which didn't it's also known
6:36
for its steep learning curve c++ is one
6:38
of the most important programming
6:40
languages of all time even still in wide
6:42
use today still being the main
6:44
programming language in creating
6:45
operating systems web browsers databases
6:48
and games 40 ada a programming language
6:50
made in the 1980s that is mainly used by
6:53
the US Department of Defense it is named
6:55
after the credited world's first
6:56
programmer Ada Love Lace 39th matlab
6:59
Matlab or Matrix Library is a
7:01
mathematics programming language used by
7:03
data scientists and engineers it's a
7:05
mathematics-based programming language
7:06
that can be used for statistics robotics
7:09
and artificial intelligence it's still
7:11
widely used today mainly by academia
7:13
38th objective C a programming language
7:16
inspired by C that was created in the
7:18
1980s which became the main language for
7:20
Apple computers even being the main
7:22
language for the early iPhones although
7:24
its popularity has fallen over the years
7:26
mainly due to Apple replacing it by a
7:28
newer programming language called Swift
7:30
in the mid 2010s 37th lab View made by
7:34
National Instruments in the 1980s it is
7:36
a programming language that doesn't
7:37
really use traditional code instead it's
7:40
a graphical programming language where
7:41
you build user interfaces and handle
7:43
code using images 36 erlong a
7:46
programming language designed for the
7:48
telecom industry whatsapp use it to
7:50
build its platform 35th pearl a language
7:52
that was designed to work very well with
7:54
text it's used for system administration
7:56
network programming finance and more
7:58
pearl has been known as the duct tape
8:00
that holds the internet together if
8:02
you've ever seen the code it actually
8:03
looks pretty wacky 34 wolfrram was
8:05
created by Steven Wolram it's a language
8:07
that can perform data visualization
8:09
image processing mathematics and pretty
8:12
much anything you can think of it can
8:13
even tell you the shortest route around
8:15
Europe 33rd Haskell it's a functional
8:17
programming language with its unique
8:18
feature of its variables being immutable
8:20
which means you can't change them the
8:22
language is based on Lambda Calculus
8:24
number 32 visual Basic a programming
8:26
language developed by Microsoft in the
8:28
early 1990s it's used to create
8:30
Microsoft programs and applications by
8:32
using GUIs or graphical user interfaces
8:35
basically anything you can interact with
8:37
with your mouse on the screen is part of
8:39
the graphical user interface it also has
8:41
a very popular IDE of the same name
8:43
number 31 lua a language known for its
8:46
speed and being able to be embedded into
8:48
other programs it's also known for being
8:50
very easy to learn 30 deli nothing much
8:52
to say about it it's basically Pascal
8:54
but with object-oriented programming it
8:56
even comes with its own code editor yeri
8:58
Dokuzunu Okiml Okmel is a
9:00
functionalbased programming language
9:02
like Haskell and Erlang functional
9:04
programming languages are good at doing
9:05
math and object-oriented programming
9:07
languages are good for building
9:09
enterprise level software 28th Python
9:11
Python is a generalpurpose programming
9:13
language and you can use it to make
9:15
pretty much anything from desktop
9:16
applications to websites creating bots
9:19
or API handling servers and databases
9:21
game development image processing
9:23
statistics and so much more that it
9:25
would need its own video python is
9:27
currently one of the most popular
9:28
programming languages for creating AI
9:30
it's also one of the most popular
9:31
programming languages in general in fact
9:34
most beginner programmers start with
9:36
Python as their first programming
9:38
language not only for its vast utility
9:40
but also how easy it is to learn one of
9:42
its only drawbacks is that it tends to
9:44
be pretty slow compared to other
9:46
programming languages like C++ 27th Ruby
9:50
ruby is a language very similar to
9:52
Python even the code looks similar ruby
9:54
is easy to learn and the code is also
9:56
very readable one of the most popular
9:58
uses of Ruby is to combine it with a
10:00
framework called On Rails to create
10:02
websites adopting the full name Ruby on
10:04
Rails ruby on Rails is currently the
10:06
backbone to many websites we know
10:08
currently such as Hulu Airbnb Coinbase
10:11
Shopify Twitch Soundcloud and many more
10:14
a lot of its popularity was its ability
10:16
to be able to create full stack websites
10:18
full stack is the combination of the
10:19
front end and the back end development
10:21
of a website's front end is basically
10:23
everything you can see with your eyes
10:24
basically the entire interface the text
10:27
the images the buttons and the videos
10:29
are all part of the front end the back
10:31
end is the non-visual part of the
10:33
website which is mainly the servers and
10:35
databases account information
10:37
authentication and data storage is
10:38
what's part of the back end dad shiesta
10:41
Java do you remember the thing some
10:43
programs asked you to install on your
10:45
computer yeah that's an actual
10:46
programming language it gained
10:48
popularity immediately after its
10:49
released and it's still popular today a
10:51
big advantage that Java has is that it
10:53
allows you to create programs that are
10:55
very platform independent that's because
10:57
Java can be compiled into byte code
10:59
which can be understood by many
11:00
operating systems all your computer
11:02
would need is a Java runtime environment
11:03
to do this which is what you're
11:05
installing every time your computer asks
11:07
you to install Java java can be used to
11:09
create many things like video games such
11:11
as Minecraft or mobile apps on Android a
11:13
meme amongst beginner programmers is
11:15
that Java's code tends to be pretty
11:17
verbose number 25R a programming
11:19
language in which its main purpose is
11:21
statistics it's a widely popular
11:23
programming language used to organize
11:24
data and data visualization it's very
11:26
useful for researchers conducting
11:28
epidemiological studies if you're a
11:30
researcher studying in fields such as
11:32
economics psychology biology and
11:35
medicine learning how to code in either
11:36
Python or R is a very useful skill
11:39
number 24 JavaScript javascript is not
11:42
the same as Java in fact it has nothing
11:44
to do with Java javascript is a
11:46
programming language that is mainly only
11:48
used in web browsers in fact 98% of the
11:51
internet uses JavaScript javascript is
11:53
responsible for the main functional
11:55
aspect of the website it's based on the
11:57
ECMAScript standard and is often used in
11:59
conjunction with HTML and CSS but
12:02
sometimes you can create websites with
12:03
just pure JavaScript using frameworks
12:06
such as React and with React Mobile you
12:08
can create mobile apps 23 html and CSS
12:11
html and CSS are both scripting
12:14
languages to create websites html deals
12:16
with the pure content and structure of
12:18
the website it uses code called HTML
12:21
tags in order to build the content on
12:23
the web page 22nd CSS is used for the
12:25
design or aesthetic look of the website
12:27
it deals with the arrangement of content
12:29
colors borders gradients opacities and
12:32
can even perform animations 21st PHP aka
12:36
personal homepage but sometimes also
12:38
called hypertext prep-processor is a
12:40
programming language mainly used on web
12:42
servers you can actually embed PHP
12:44
directly into HTML php although waning
12:47
in popularity is still the backbone of
12:49
many major websites today it was the
12:51
language Mark Zuckerberg first built to
12:53
build Facebook 20th Action Script a
12:55
language based on JavaScript in which
12:57
its main purpose was its use in Flash
12:59
have you ever played a flash game back
13:01
in the day that was most likely made
13:02
using Action Script it was first created
13:04
by Macromedia which released Action
13:06
Script 1 and version 2.0 but when
13:08
Macromedia was later bought out by Adobe
13:11
Adobe released Action Script 3.0 even
13:13
though as of 2020 Adobe Flash has died
13:16
out you can still use Action Script with
13:18
Adobe Animate number 19 C a programming
13:21
language made in the early 2000 by
13:23
Microsoft it was influenced by C++ and
13:26
Java c#'s most common uses are being
13:28
used in web servers with the net
13:30
framework and video game development
13:32
with the Unity engine yermi Seekini
13:34
Scala Scola was made as an alternative
13:36
to Java it also uses many of Java's same
13:39
technologies such as the Java virtual
13:41
machine but unlike Java it has many
13:43
features of functional programming
13:44
number 17 PowerShell basically the
13:47
Windows command line on steroids comes
13:49
with its own scripting language 16 f f#
13:52
is the sister language to C with the
13:54
difference of it being able to support
13:55
functional programming 15th Julia a
13:58
programming language made in the early
13:59
2010s in order to perform high-level
14:01
computations data analysis and
14:03
visualization and mathematics its main
14:05
advantage is that it's much faster than
14:07
other programming languages that do this
14:09
the code is a lot easier to read and
14:10
it's much easier to learn on Doranju Elm
14:13
a programming language designed to
14:15
create graphical user interfaces for
14:16
websites it can be compiled into
14:18
JavaScript number 13 Nim a programming
14:21
language with the simplicity of Python
14:23
combined with the memory allocation of
14:25
C++ raku nothing much to say it's
14:28
basically Pearl but version six although
14:30
it has a pretty wacky logo scratch a
14:32
programming language made in MIT that is
14:35
completely visual and block-based no
14:37
seriously the code fits together like
14:38
Lego blocks it was made with the purpose
14:40
for teaching children how to code
14:42
despite its simplicity you can make
14:43
pretty complex things with it number 10
14:45
go formerly known as Golong was created
14:47
at Google to be a modern version of C
14:50
the code can be similar to Python but
14:51
it's much faster due to its compiling
14:53
method it's mainly used in servers with
14:55
frameworks like Docker number nine Holy
14:58
C a programming language created by
15:00
Terry A davis in 2005 made with assembly
15:02
it was used to create an operating
15:04
system called Temple OS an operating
15:06
system inspired by a revelation from God
15:09
the main interest in this programming
15:10
language is due to the backstory of the
15:12
developer although being a talented
15:14
programmer suffered from and ultimately
15:16
succumbed from his battle with
15:17
schizophrenia number eight Cotlin known
15:20
as the easier form of Java is a language
15:22
used to create mobile apps on Android OS
15:24
the most popular IDE to code Kotlin in
15:26
is Android Studio typescript basically
15:29
JavaScript but with static typing number
15:31
seven Dart is a programming language
15:33
created by Google that you can use to
15:35
create web applications or mobile apps
15:37
using the Flutter framework swift was
15:39
developed by Apple to replace Objective
15:40
C it is the standard programming
15:42
language to create anything in iOS and
15:44
it comes with its own code editor called
15:46
Xcode you can only code in Swift if you
15:48
have an Apple computer or use a virtual
15:50
machine five Rust this is the true
15:52
modern version of C and C++ it's good if
15:54
you want to write simple code while also
15:56
handling memory issues it's a very
15:58
popular programming language and it's
16:00
used to make applications where
16:01
performance is extremely important such
16:03
as game engines or operating systems
16:05
number four Solidity a programming
16:06
language created for the Ethereum

network programs created in Solidity are
16:10
called smart contracts these smart
16:12
tracks are later deployed to the
16:14
blockchain however once smart contracts
16:15
are deployed to the blockchain they
16:17
cannot be changed or altered again so
16:19
before a contract is deployed usually
16:21
developers test them thoroughly
16:23
beforehand this is done using testing
16:24
environments such as Truffle and Hard
16:26
Hat depending on the smart contract it
16:28
can cost memory and even money in the
16:30
form of Ethereum to work its main uses
16:32
are for creating web 3.0 zero
