El padre Designing programming languages is similar to how spoken languages have evolved over time. The earliest programming languages were assembler codes closely tied to physical architecture of the computers they ran on. From there, the syntax and design choices of later languages developed as combination of early computer theory, physical hardware capabilities, and the sort of problems computers were intended to help solve. For example, many early languages have strongly typed variables and emphasize memory management because memory was limited in early hardware. As hardware has improved, Internet developed, computer theory evolved, and types of programs have changed, Computer Languages have evolved to be closer to human languages. Physical resources are less critical now, and readability has become more important as programs become increasingly complex. Even so, the compilers for current languages are often written in those older languages. The compiler now handles the resource optimization.

HTML is NOT a programming language. The name HTML itself (short for HyperText Markup Language) claimed that it is a markup language, not a programming language. Basically, most (if not all) programming languages are created using a compiler or an interpreter. A compiler or an interpreter translates the code you wrote (human-readable code) into machine code. The big difference between these two is: a compiler translates the whole code into machine code at once, and an interpreter executes your code line by line. Syntaxes also play a huge role in making the programming language. Think of it as language grammar, when you're speaking to someone but you have a poor choice of words and your grammar is bad, it might be very hard for them to understand what you said. There might be some other factors during the process of creating a programming language that I didn't mention above..

html is not a programming language; but anyways: by coding it! :-) how people created the first programming language? your question is similar, but creating a new language is easier based on something exists (compiler, interpreter, syntax, etc)

I rly don't know who invented the first coding language but I doubt it's amongst the ones above...

Idk I wish I could make one, I have decided all syntaxes and functions but don't know how to make it irl😅
