The 'B' in BNF. A brilliant pioneer who fundamentally shaped how we define programming languages. 👇🏻
Today in 1924, John Backus, the inventor of FORTRAN, was born. He received the 1977 #ACMTuringAward. In this video, Backus describes the creation of FORTRAN, the first high level programming language: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBpj...
