COBOL: Probably the first language that looked "human readable". Invented with "business" in mind, ie, banks, corporations, etc. Still in use at many financial places as their installations are huge and would be expensive to replace/rewrite. COBOL programmers are very hard to find and very expensive.
-
Fortran: Developed at IBM in the 1950s, still incredibly popular today for economics calculations, math, finance, etc. Popular in academia for this reason.
-
C: Massively influential. probably the most famous programming language. Invented at Bell Labs in the 60s. Still in incredibly wide use for such applications as operating systems, microcontrollers, or anything where speed is a necessary. Very fast, but easy to write buggy code. Runs on almost any hardware ever made. It's syntax and idioms live on in Java, JavaScript, C#, C++

| Why coding streams/shows are interesting to me: in some livestreams, the experience is very similar to pair programming, | |
| but those people are experts. In VODs, it's more about problem solving and learning skills and approaches. The devs are really good | |
| at what they do and there is *always* a lot to learn. | |
| In no particular order: | |
| 1) Handmade Hero | |
| About the author: Casey Muratori. Worked at RAD. | |
| Description and why I like it: It kinda started the whole thing for me. Casey is coding a complete game and engine on stream, | |
| from scratch, one hour a day. He knows what he's doing on so many of the domains of game development and regular programing, |
