Com­puter Lan­guages and its Evolution

I remem­ber learn­ing some of these com­puter pro­gram­ming languages.

The lan­guages that I have learnt are:

  • Z80 Machine Language,
  • For­tran,
  • Cobol,
  • C and C++,
  • Pas­cal,
  • Basic.

And now I’m learn­ing about PHP and HTML5 and of course, Java. Nowa­days, nearly every­thing is geared to a web-based envi­ron­ment or appli­ca­tions for mobile devices.

The Android plat­form is using Java Pro­gram­ming language.

Today’s com­puter lan­guages are now writ­ten in Eng­lish word com­mands. It’s far more eas­ier to learn than Assem­bly language.

Even at this stage of advance­ment, the com­puter only sees in terms of ONES and ZEROES.

With all the vari­eties of com­puter lan­guages, there’s a com­mon rule to all of them.

The logic is always YES or NO and not a maybe unlike human lan­guages where you can deal with gradations.

It’s alright to just put in a bit more sugar in the cof­fee; For a com­puter appli­ca­tion it needs to know exactly what’s a “bit more”.

And it helps tremen­dously if you think like a Vulcan.

    The inter­est­ing point here is that the lan­guages evolved from its predecessors.

    • Anony­mous

      The trend is mov­ing to nat­ural lan­guage like how we speak.
