Can you name the Programming Language if You Know The Creators?

I can't believe I missed basic and javascript! I'm banging my head against the wall thinking "I know the name Brendan Eich, but where?"

Almost same here. I missed PHP, JavaScript and Groovy. PHP and Groovy were off my radar but I had the same feeling about Eich.

I haven't missed Basic just because of the year (1964).

Missed Groovy. No regrets.

Apart from a few the actual years of creation helped me more than the names of the creators.

18/19 can't believe I missed BASIC! Should have been process of elimination of programming languages I've heard of at that point.

Most I got from the creators, managed to narrow down the others based on the year.
