Grace Hopper: she devised the first "true and modern" compiler ever (A1 was its name, if I recall).
- begueradj 2y agoJust checked: her compiler was called A-0. If I remember well, she did it when she was teaching mathematics to help her students. (As a part of my English language exam when I was a student, I had to write a text about a subject of my choice. I wrote about the history of programming languages: that's where I discovered Grace Hopper and mentioned her work in my essay).
