I found this from @mattgemmell on Twitter, a timeline of programming languages that is basically true, albeit that it is for comic purposes only, I am in complete agreement with it. You can see it here: link.

However I would offer a few corrections, notably by adding Visual Basic in 1991.

Computer genius Alan Cooper gathered his hippie-like habits from BASIC and decided that if a monkey can write a command line DOS application, then why can’t a monkey make a program with a GUI? Cooper decided that there was not enough pain in the world and he left all of BASIC’s flaws, notably the unstructured nature and introduced what is well-known as ‘DLL Hell’.
