#onthisday in #tech #history -- April 19, 1957 🗓️ First FORTRAN Program Runs Researchers run the first FORTRAN program. Short for "FORmula TRANslator," FORTRAN enabled computer programmers ("coders," at the time) to work in a "high-level" language, greatly simplifying program writing. The first FORTRAN program (other than internal IBM testing) runs at Westinghouse, producing a missing comma diagnostic. A successful attempt followed.

🚀 Tech History Flashback! Dive into the roots of programming with a fascinating fact: the first-ever programming language was born in 1957! Meet "Fortran" (short for Formula Translation), a pioneering language designed for scientific and engineering calculations. Developed by IBM, Fortran revolutionized the world of computation by introducing a high-level language that allowed programmers to express mathematical algorithms more easily. Over the years, it played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of programming languages. Let's take a moment to appreciate the trailblazers who paved the way for the diverse coding languages we have today. From Fortran to Python, the journey has been incredible! 🚀💻 #TechHistory #ProgrammingLanguages #Fortran #CodeEvolution #MobileAppDevelopment #TesnovaSolutions #TesnovaMobileAppDevelopment #TesnovaTeam #Tesnova
