A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
James Iry; Thursday, May 7, 2009

1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave "hello, world" into a tapestry. Redditers of the time are not impressed due to the lack of tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper capitalization.

1842 - Ada Lovelace writes the first program. She is hampered in her efforts by the minor inconvenience that she doesn't have any actual computers to run her code. Enterprise architects will later relearn her techniques in order to program in UML.

1936 - Alan Turing invents every programming language that will ever be but is shanghaied by British Intelligence to be 007 before he can patent them.

1936 - Alonzo Church also invents every language that will ever be but does it better. His lambda calculus is ignored because it is insufficiently C-like. This criticism occurs in spite of the fact that C has not yet been invented.

1940s - Various "computers" are "programmed" using direct wiring and switches. Engineers do this in order to avoid the tabs vs spaces debate.

1957 - John Backus and IBM create FORTRAN. There's nothing funny about IBM or FORTRAN. It is a syntax error to write FORTRAN while not wearing a blue tie.

Weil ich heute viele solcher Dialoge hier gelesen habe: Andere Leute die nicht euren Überzeugungen folgen sind nicht eure Feinde, es macht keinen Sinn sich gegenseitig zu zerfleischen. Jemand isst Fleisch? Jemand hat ein Auto? Jemand nutzt LLMs? Jemand fliegt? Ja scheiss drauf, die Leute zu antagonisieren hilft keinem, wahrscheinlich hast du mit der Person mehr gemeinsam, als du in diesem kleinen Online Ausschnitt siehst. Grenzt Menschenfeinde aus, der Rest kann ausgehalten werden.
