The Generations of Programming Languages | Computer Science History

Programming languages have progressed exponentially over the past half-century. The way you understand programming languages is split into high-level & low-level. But within that, there are five generations of programming languages. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th... pretty easy right? Whereas the 1st & 2nd being low-level languages. And the 3rd, 4th, 5th being high-level languages. You'll notice it progresses as it did through time, with machine language, assembly, Java, Python, and now with these visual tool programming languages.
