REGISTER September 1995 20th Anniversary / A Brief History of Programming Languages ca. 1946 Konrad Zuse , a German engineer working alone while hiding out in the Bavarian Alps, develops Plankalkul. He applies the language to, among other things, chess. Short Code , the first computer language actually used on an electronic computing device, appears. It is, however, a "hand-compiled" language. Grace Hopper , working for Remington Rand, begins design work on the first widely known compiler, named A-0. When the language is released by Rand in 1957, it is called MATH-MATIC.

Top 10 Ways To Be Screwed By "C" The Top 10 Ways to get screwed by the C programming language Infallible programmers, of the type unix and C designers anticipated, http://www.andromeda.com/people/ddyer/topten.html
Extractions: Last modified Dec 1, 2003. To get on this list, a bug has to be able to cause at least half a day of futile head scratching, and has to be aggravated by the poor design of the "C" language. In the interests of equal time, and to see how the world has progressed in the 20-odd years since "C" escaped from its spawning ground, see my Top 10 Ways to be Screwed by the Java programming language , and for more general ways to wase a lot of time due to bad software, try my Adventures in Hell page. A better language would allow fallible programmers to be more productive. Infallible programmers, of the type unix' and "C" designers anticipated, need read no further. In fairness, I have to admit that the writers of compilers have improved on the situation in recent years, by detecting and warning about potentially bad code in many cases. Non-terminated comment , "accidentally" terminated by some subsequent comment, with the code in between swallowed. a=b; /* this is a bug
