When was the 1 programming language developed?

While there's no single, universally agreed upon "first" programming language, Plankalkül, developed by Konrad Zuse in 1943-1945, is often considered a strong contender.

Here's why:

* Conceptual foundation: Plankalkül was a complete and well-defined programming language, even if it wasn't implemented until much later. It included concepts like variables, loops, and conditional statements.

* Early development: Zuse's work predates other significant programming languages like Short Code (1949) and Assembly Language (1949).

However, Plankalkül wasn't widely implemented or used during its time. It was only implemented in the late 1970s, long after other languages had become established.

So, while it holds a significant place in the history of programming, it's crucial to acknowledge that other languages emerged and saw practical use before Plankalkül's implementation.
