The Jacquard loom, on display at theMuseum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England, was one of the first programmable devices.
Programmable logic ASICs is a classification of ASICs are programmed by blowing fuses in a device to alter the logic function.

what are functions of programmable ROM
The advantage of programmable logic device is in terms of money. This device is cheaper rather than using microcontrollers that has to be certified before someone can use it.

FPGA - Field Programmable Gate ArrayA field-programmable gate array is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components called "logic blocks", and programmable interconnects.

The unique property of a computer is the fact that the function of the device is not defined completely on assembly but is changeable based on a program that has to be added to the device. Charles Babage is generally acknowledged as the father of the computer. He invented the first (mechanical) programmable calculating machine.
Programmable devices can be customized by users for their application. Consider the difference between a Read Only Memory (ROM) and a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM). A ROM is programmed by the manufacturer and delivered to the user. The function of the ROM is the same no matter who uses it. A PROM is a type of ROM that is delivered blank to the user. The user can store a custom program on the PROM to tailor the device for their application. In short, a programmable device can be customized by the user.
SPLD - Simple Programmable Logic DeviceAlso known as:PAL (Programmable Array Logic, Vantis)GAL (Generic Array Logic, Lattice)PLA (Programmable Logic Array)PLD (Programmable Logic Device)SPLDs are the smallest and consequently the least-expensive form of programmable logic. An SPLD is typically comprised of four to 22 macrocells and can typically replace a few 7400-series TTL devices. Each of the macrocells is typically fully connected to the others in the device. Most SPLDs use either fuses or non-volatile memory cells such as EPROM, EEPROM, or FLASH to define the functionality.CPLD - Complex Programmable Logic DeviceAlso known as:EPLD (Erasable Programmable Logic Device)PEELEEPLD (Electrically-Erasable Programmable Logic Device)MAX (Multiple Array matriX, Altera)CPLDs are similar to SPLDs except that they are significantly higher capacity. A typical CPLD is the equivalent of two to 64 SPLDs. A CPLD typically contains from tens to a few hundred macrocells. A group of eight to 16 macrocells is typically grouped together into a larger function block. The macrocells within a function block are usually fully connected. If a device contains multiple function blocks, then the function blocks are further interconnected. Not all CPLDs are fully connected between function blocks-this is vendor and family specific. Less that 100% connection between function blocks means that there is a chance that the device will not route or may have problems keeping the same pinout between design revisions.In concept, CPLDs consist of multiple PAL-like logic blocks interconnected together via a programmable switch matrix. Typically, each logic block contains 4 to 16 macrocells, depending on the architecture.
