State
Fortran, created at IBM in the early 1950s, was the first high-level language to use a compiler — software converting source code from one language to another — among computing's biggest advances.
Show
Science ran on it for decades; readable source became runnable machine work.
Watch for
The compiler, not the syntax, was the revolution.
