Wasn't Ada (after whom the language in which this posting also appeared first) the first programmer? Wouldn't that make it ~130 years? The fifty years undoubtably refers to the first high level language, Plankalkul, designed in 1945 by the unemployed (for obvious reasons) German computer engineer Konrad Zuse. From the Language List (http://cuiwww.unige.ch/langlist) Plankalkul Konrad Zuse, ca. 1945. The first programming language, implemented for the Z3 computer. Included arrays and records. Much of his work may have been either lost or confiscated in the aftermath of WWII. "The Plankalkul of Konrad Zuse", F.L. Bauer et al, CACM 15(7):678-685 (Jul 1972). I believe that the language list is mistaken in saying that it was implemented, although its design may have been planned for implementation on the Z3. Ada was a machine language programmer. -- William B. Clodius Phone: (505)-665-9370 Los Alamos National Laboratory Email: wclodius@lanl.gov Los Alamos, NM 87545
