Question

Did you know? The first ever programming language was invented in Nazi Germany by Konrad Zuse for his Z3 computer. It was called Plankalkül and predates FORTRAN and COBOL — but because it was only published in 1972, the credit went to those later languages.

Accepted Answer

The first ever programming language was invented in Nazi Germany by Konrad Zuse for his Z3 computer. It was called Plankalkül and predates FORTRAN and COBOL — but because it was only published in 1972, the credit went to those later languages.

De allereerste programmeertaal werd in nazi-Duitsland bedacht door Konrad Zuse, voor zijn Z3-computer. Hij heette Plankalkül en is af van vóór FORTRAN en COBOL — maar omdat hij pas in 1972 werd gepubliceerd, gaat alle eer naar de latere talen.
