    • Creator: Yukihiro Matsumoto
    • Primary Uses: Web application development, Ruby on Rails
    • Used By: Twitter, Hulu, Groupon
  13. 1995 – Java (for the amount of coffee consumed while developing the language)
    • General-purpose, high-level. Made for an interactive TV project. Cross-platform functionality. Second most popular language (behind C).2

此篇 "程式語言的歷史資訊圖表:Java 才是現任霸主" 為上述的中文翻譯 + 摘要說明, 下述摘錄自此文:

愛達·勒芙蕾絲(Ada Lovelace)是大家公認的首位電腦程式設計師,也開創了世上首上程式語言,從 1843 年至今,程式語言的發展至今已近 170 年的歷史了,在美國現今約有 120 萬以上的相關從業人員,程式也發展出不同的語言,不過根據 Veracode 的調查來看,Java 才是目前最多人使用的程式語言。

  1. 1843 年: 愛達·勒芙蕾絲(Ada Lovelace)是大家公認的首位電腦程式設計師,也開創了世上首上程式語言。
  2. 1957 ~ 1959 年: FORTRAN、LISP 與 COBOL 是這時期誕生的程式語言。
  3. 1970 年: PASCAL 於這一年由尼克勞斯·維爾特(Niklaus Wirth)所創造出來。
  4. 1972 年: 著名的 C 語言是在這年誕生的,由貝爾實驗室的丹尼斯·里奇(Dennis Ritchie)以早期的 B 語言為基礎所開創出來的,是為了在早期的電腦上執行 UNIX 系統所開創出來的,並做為通用開發的低階程式語言。早期 WWW 網際網路伺服器也是以 C 語言在 1973 年重新撰寫的 UNIX 上運作的。
  5. 1983 年: C++ 早期被稱之為「C with Classes(包含型別的 C 語言)」,同樣由貝爾實驗室的比雅尼·史特勞斯特魯普(Bjarne Stroustrup)發明,其後才另命名為 C++,其「+」表示為增強之意,C++ 屬中階程式語言,加強了 C 語言中的 Classes(型別)、虛擬函式、模版等功能。
  6. 1983 年: Objective-C 同樣是洐生至 C 語言的程式語言,由 Stepstone 公司的創辦人布萊德·考克斯(Brad Cox)與湯姆·勒(Tom Love)共同發明,屬於通用、高階的程式語言,其並加入了物件導向與 Smalltalk 語言的訊息傳遞風格。
  7. 1987 年: Perl 為通用型的高階程式語言,其一開始是 Unisys 的拉里·沃爾(Larry Wall)為了在 UNIX 系統上處理報表更為方便而開創的,Perl 的高性能與靈活度佳被廣為稱道,甚至有程式語言的瑞士刀之稱,其應用範圍很廣,在 CGI、資料庫軟體、系統管理、網路程式與圖形程式都適用。
  8. 1991 年: Python 是Guido van Rossum(Guido van Rossum)於 CWI(Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica;國家數學和計算機科學研究學會)任職時為了打發時間而開發出來的,其名字則來自其喜愛的英國電視喜劇《Monty Python’s Flying Circus(蒙提·派森的飛行馬戲團)》,也是一個通用型的高階程式語言。
  9. 1993 年: 以創造人松本行弘(Yukihiro Matsumoto)的誕生石為名的 Ruby 是這幾年頗為當紅的程式語言,也是統計中成長最快的。
  10. 1995 年: 與咖啡同名的 Java,其名字也真的來自咖啡,只因昇陽工程師詹姆斯·高斯林(James Gosling)覺得在開發此一程式語言時需要耗掉大量的咖啡。其實 Java 本來要命名為 Oak,只不過名稱已被先行註冊,只好更名為 Java。
  11. 1995 年: PHP 的原文其實是 Personal Home Page 個人首頁,是開創者拉斯姆斯·勒多夫(Rasmus Lerdorf)為了要維護個人網頁所開發的程式集,由於可以組成動態的網頁,在釋出後經各方改寫另外更名成了現今的 Hypertext Preprocessor 超文字預處理器。
  12. 1995 年: JavaScript 是屬於高階語言,是由網景 Netscape 的布蘭登·艾克(Brendan Eich)為了添增網頁功能而設計而發明的,可用在動態網頁中提交、確認表格資料,創造互動、動畫,或是追踪使用者行為。除了動態網頁的開發外,PDF 文件、瀏覽器與桌面小工具都可利用 JavaScript 來開發。
