Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fortran (short for "Formula Translation") was developed in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications and was the first high-level programming language to gain widespread acceptance. It was standardized in the 1960s and remained popular for many years due to its efficiency and numerical computing capabilities. While BASIC, C, and C++ are also widely used programming languages, they were developed and standardized later than Fortran.
