Also of interest are some of his other innovations:
- Plankalkuel, by some criteria the first high-level programming language [1].
- Digital physics [2]. I have no idea if this is taken seriously by physicists.
- First chess program, predating Wiener, Shannon and Turing [3].
- First implementation of floating point numbers [4].
