Maple is a general-purpose commercial computer algebra system (symbolic computing environment + numeric computing environment + multi-paradigm programming language) developed by Maplesoft (Waterloo Maple) from Canada in 1982. It is known as one of the three major mathematical software programs along with MATLAB and Mathematica, and its main competitor should be Mathematica

Microsoft has been a world leader in the area of program development all the time. Visual Studio 6.0 is a very classic programming component (Integrated Development Environment) introduced by Microsoft in 1998. This is the last version to run on the Windows 9x platform, the last version to include Visual J++, the last program development component of Microsoft that does not support the .NET Framework (Microsoft started to fully support the object-oriented .NET Framework from the next release of Visual Studio - 7.0), also the next four versions' core environment that provides programmers with an integrated look-alike platform.

BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is one of the most popular and widely used programming languages in the history of computing technology. Of course, the only BASIC-based languages still in production today are probably the cross-platform PureBasic and the classic, famous Visual Basic developed by Microsoft.

Xojo is an unpopular but interesting integrated development environment for cross-platform applications. It can write native applications (that is, executable files in various formats that consist of instructions that can be executed directly by the CPU) with a graphical user interface for various operating systems and platforms (desktop, mobile, web and Raspberry Pi), as well as console applications, background service applications and web applications that do not have a graphical user interface.

The assembly language is actually a strongly functional programming language, which can utilize all features of computer hardware and directly control them. As a machine language, corresponding to the high-level language compiler, assembly language also needs a assembler to compile its source code into executable machine code. As far as I know, there are at least two skills can not do anything without the basic knowledge of assembly language, they are reverse engineering (software cracking) and disk repair.
