Code Through the Ages: A History of Programming Languages

Join us on a time-traveling tour from 1940s punch cards to today’s diverse programming languages. We’ll trace machine language and assembly, high-level breakthroughs (Fortran, LISP), the rise of C and object-oriented design, the Java/web era, scripting revolutions, and modern favorites like Rust and Go. Along the way we pull in excerpts from programming language timelines and Wikipedia entries to show how hardware, paradigms, and the web shaped the code we write—and where the craft might go next.
