Simula, invented in the late 1960s by Nygaard and Dahl as a superset of ALGOL 60, was the first language designed to support object-oriented programming. FORTH, the earliest concatenative programming language was designed by Charles Moore in 1969 as a personal development system while at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).

Doron Swade has said that Ada only published the first computer program instead of actually writing it, but agrees that she was the only person to see the potential of the analytical engine as a machine capable of expressing entities other than quantities. [92] In his book, Idea Makers, Stephen Wolfram defends Lovelace's contributions. While ...
After the second world war he established the Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester where he created the project that built the world's first stored-program computer, the Manchester Baby. 1962 Nygaard, Kristen: With Ole-Johan Dahl, invented the proto-object oriented language SIMULA. 1642 Pascal, Blaise
Alan Turing is credited with being the first person to come up with a theory for software in 1935, which led to the two academic fields of computer science and software engineering. The first generation of software for early stored-program digital computers in the late 1940s had its instructions written directly in binary code , generally ...
The first practical compiler was written by Corrado Böhm in 1951 for his PhD thesis, [4] [5] one of the first computer science doctorates awarded anywhere in the world. The first implemented compiler was written by Grace Hopper , who also coined the term "compiler", [ 6 ] [ 7 ] referring to her A-0 system which functioned as a loader or linker ...
