  Zuse Z3? Babbage's Analytical Engine!

    "Babbage's Analytical Engine!" First computer not first vaporware

    The Z3 was the first operational turing-complete computer (May 1941, a few years before ENIAC). Babbage's analytical engine was never actually built.

      For me, as a software developer, it's about detailed design rather than implementation. 1837-s design is much more impressive than 1941-s implementation (100+ years later - you'd better build something with all that time).

  I thought it would be about the Analytical Engine.

    Funny, I was expecting the Antikythera mechanism.

      Antikythera is not Turing-complete unlike the brain. So which prehistoric creature did they resurrect?
