On what platform did these popular programming languages originate?
- by speciousfool
Perhaps you know the story of HTTP and HTML being developed on a NeXT computer. I am curious which platform served as the first home for these programming languages:
Ada
C
C++
C#
D
Erlang
Fortran
Haskell
Java
Javascript
Lisp
Logo
MATLAB
ML
Perl
PHP
Prolog
Python
R
Ruby
Scheme
SQL
Smalltalk
I thought it might be interesting to reflect on how the machine and operating environment lead to different design decisions. Or to see if some architecture or operating system variant was particularly fruitful for programming language development. A question for the historians among us.
