Zuse Z3? Babbage's Analytical Engine!
- VLM 12y ago"Babbage's Analytical Engine!" First computer not first vaporware
- Hermel 12y agoThe Z3 was the first operational turing-complete computer (May 1941, a few years before ENIAC). Babbage's analytical engine was never actually built.
- CmonDev 12y agoFor 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).
