QUESTION = how was the first prpgramming language invented? What was the name of the language? GENERATION = [Here](_URL_0_) is a video about the first people to use a programming language. It is a bit old but very interesting. It also has a few animations. If you're interested in learning more about it you can look into [The Origin of Computer Languages](_URL_1_). You can also read about it here: [The Origin of Computer Languages](_URL_2_) The short answer is that it was a first language because it was invented in the mid-19th century and first people to use it didn't understand how to read and write it. It was also very simple and didn't have any fancy symbols. It was just a simple way of writing down numbers. There were no special characters. It just worked. This is why it was called a first language. It was invented in the mid-19th century. And it was not until the 20th century that people realized how to use it and how to write it down. It was not until the 1950s that people realized how to write it down and how to read it. This is why we call it a first language. RETRIEVAL #0 = Programmed Data Processor---Programmed Data Processor Programmed Data Processor (PDP), referred to by some customers, media and authors as "Programmable Data Processor, is a term used by the Digital Equipment Corporation from 1957 to 1990 for several lines of minicomputers. The name "PDP" intentionally avoids the use of the term "computer" because, at the time of the first PDPs, computers had a reputation of being large, complicated, and expensive machines, and the venture capitalists behind Digital (especially Georges Doriot) would not support Digital's attempting to build a "computer"; the word "minicomputer" had not yet been coined. So instead, Digital used their existing line of logic modules to build a "Programmed Data Processor" and aimed it at a market that could not afford the larger computers. The various PDP machines can generally be grouped into families based on word length. Section::::Series. Members of the PDP series include: BULLET::::- PDP-1: The original PDP, an 18-bit machine used in early time-sharing operating system work, and prominent in MIT's early hacker culture, which led to the (Massachusetts) Route 128 hardware startup belt (DEC's second home RETRIEVAL #1 = Garrwa---Garrwa Garrwa or Garawa may be, BULLET::::- Garrwa people BULLET::::- Garrwa language RETRIEVAL #2 = Ventureño language---Ventureño language BULLET::::- Ventureño at the California Language Archive RETRIEVAL #3 = RTSKED---RTSKED RTSKED is a real-time scheduling language for controlling a music synthesizer, developed by Max Mathews and cited by Miller Puckette as an antecedent for his Max. Composer Laurie Spiegel briefly worked with Mathews on this language at Bell Labs early in the 1980s. RETRIEVAL #4 = Childes---Childes Childes may refer to: BULLET::::- Childe's Tomb (or Childes Tomb), Dartmoor, England BULLET::::- CHILDES, or Child Language Data Exchange System, a database of child language RETRIEVAL #5 = Proto-Euphratean language---Proto-Euphratean language Proto-Euphratean is a hypothetical unclassified language or languages which was considered by some Assyriologists (for example Samuel Noah Kramer), to be the substratum language of the people that introduced farming into Southern Iraq in the Early Ubaid period (5300-4700 BC). Dyakonov and Ardzinba identified these hypothetical languages with the Samarran culture. Benno Landsberger and other Assyriologists argued that by examining the structure of Sumerian names of occupations, as well as toponyms and hydronyms, one can suggest that there was once an earlier group of people in the region who spoke an entirely different language, often referred to as Proto-Euphratean. Terms for "farmer", "smith", "carpenter", and "date" (as in the fruit), also do not appear to have a Sumerian or Semitic origin. Linguists coined a different term, "banana languages," proposed by Igor Dyakonov and Vladislav Ardzinba, based on a characteristic feature of multiple personal names attested in Sumerian texts, namely reduplication of syllables (like in the word "banana"): Inanna, Zababa, Chuwawa, Bunene etc. The same feature was attested in some other unclassified languages, including Minoan. The same feature is allegedly attested by several names of Hyksos RETRIEVAL #6 = Pajubá---Pajubá Pajubá () is the name of the Brazilian cryptolect constituted of the insertion of numerous words and expressions coming from West African languages into the Portuguese language. It is spoken by practitioners of Afro-Brazilian religions, such as Candomblé and Umbanda, and by the Brazilian LGBT community. Its source languages include Umbundu, Kimbundo, Kikongo, Egbá, Ewe, Fon and Yoruba. It is also often described as "the speaking in the language of the saints" or "rolling the tongue", much used by the "saint people" (priests of African religions) when one wants to say something so that other people cannot understand. Section::::Etymology. In both the candomblé and the LGBT community, the word "pajubá" or "bajubá" means "gossip", "news", or "update", referring to other related groups or events occurring (both good things and bad things) in those circles. Section::::History. Pajubá began to be used by the LGBT community during the period of the military government of Brazil (1964–85) as a means of facing police repression and mislead what people could gather from what they heard. Originally created spontaneously in regions with the strongest African presence in Brazil, such as Umbanda and Candombl
