History of programming languages - WikipediaATIC 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. [13]

This report consolidated many ideas circulating at the time and featured three key language innovations:
