Hats off to the father of FORTRAN: The headline reads John W. Backus, 82, Fortran developer, dies. May he rest in peace. FORTRAN, short for "formula translator", was developed in 1957 and fifty years later, it is still of immeasurable value to researchers at universities all over the world. Today, we think of Education...; Tags: Programming languages, Fortran, computer; Blog posts 2007-03-20
