Infinite Negative Utility
September 28, 2014
Apparently, I've got a theme going of Weird Syntax. Let's run with it.
Konrad Zuse was an early pioneer in computer science, although his name is perhaps somewhat less well-known than others. Zuse holds the honor of having built the first programmable computer—-the Z3—-back in the 40's, as well as several other computing firsts
1. Of particular interest to this blog post is his early unimplemented programming language, Plankalkül.
Plankalkül was, like the Z3, in many respects ahead of its time. Zuse's explicit goal was to be able to describe programs at a high level, which meant he included control structures and datatype definitions
