Another early programming language was devised by
Grace Hopper in the US, called
FLOW-MATIC. It was developed for the
UNIVAC I at
Remington Rand during the period from 1955 until 1959. Hopper found that business data processing customers were uncomfortable with mathematical notation, and in early 1955, she and her team wrote a specification for an
English programming language and implemented a prototype.
[11] The FLOW-MATIC compiler became publicly available in early 1958 and was substantially complete in 1959.
[12] Flow-Matic was a major influence in the design of
COBOL, since only it and its direct descendent
AIMACO were in actual use at the time.

History of programming languages - Wikipediato have a functional implementation, as opposed to just a design on paper. [7] [8] It is still a popular language for high-performance computing [9] and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers. [10]

Other languages still in use today include LISP (1958), invented by John McCarthy and COBOL (1959), created by the Short Range Committee. Another milestone in the late 1950s was the p Summary
