2. B (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)

   B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. B was derived from BCPL , and its name may possibly be a contraction of BCPL. Thompson's coworker Dennis Ritchie speculated that the name might be based on Bon, an earlier, but unrelated, programming language that Thompson designed for use on Multics .

3. BASIC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC

   BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) [1] is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages designed for ease of use. The original version was created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College in 1963.

   He worked mostly on the language and on the I/O system, and I worked on all the rest of the operating system. That was for the PDP-11, which was serendipitous, because that was the computer that took over the academic community. Feedback from Thompson's Unix development was also instrumental in the development of the C programming language.

5. BCPL - Wikipedia

   However, its influence is still felt because a stripped down and syntactically changed version of BCPL, called B, was the language on which the C programming language was based. BCPL introduced several features of many modern programming languages, including using curly braces to delimit code blocks. [ 3 ]

6. Martin Richards (computer scientist) - Wikipedia

   Martin Richards (born 21 July 1940) is a British computer scientist known for his development of the BCPL programming language [3] which is both part of early research into portable software, and the ancestor of the B programming language invented by Ken Thompson in early versions of Unix and which Dennis Ritchie in turn used as the basis of his widely used C programming language.

7. List of programming languages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

   This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...

8. Microsoft BASIC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_BASIC

   It first appeared in 1975 as Altair BASIC, which was the first version of BASIC published by Microsoft as well as the first high-level programming language available for the Altair 8800 microcomputer. During the home computer craze of the late-1970s and early-1980s, BASIC was ported to and supplied with many home computer designs.

   Declarative programming stands in contrast to imperative programming via imperative programming languages, where control flow is specified by serial orders (imperatives). (Pure) functional and logic-based programming languages are also declarative, and constitute the major subcategories of the declarative category. This section lists additional ...
