The first high-level language to have an associated compiler was created by Corrado Böhm in 1951, for his PhD thesis. [3] The first commercially available language was FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation), developed in 1956 (first manual appeared in 1956, but first developed in 1954) by a team led by John Backus at IBM.
The first programmers of ENIAC were Kay McNulty, Betty Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Meltzer, Fran Bilas, and Ruth Lichterman. none (unique language) 1946 ENIAC Short Code: Richard Clippinger and John von Neumann after Alan Turing: none (unique language) 1947–52 ARC/Birkbeck Assembler: Kathleen Booth: ENIAC Short Code [1] 1948
This second part of the compiler can also be created by a compiler-compiler using a formal rules-of-precedence syntax-description as input. The first compiler-compiler to use that name was written by Tony Brooker in 1960 and was used to create compilers for the Atlas computer at the University of Manchester, including the Atlas Autocode compiler

After the second world war he established the Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester where he created the project that built the world's first stored-program computer, the Manchester Baby. 1962 Nygaard, Kristen: With Ole-Johan Dahl, invented the proto-object oriented language SIMULA. 1642 Pascal, Blaise
With such methods, if a mistake was made, the whole program might have to be loaded again from the beginning. The very first time a stored-program computer held a piece of software in electronic memory and executed it successfully, was 11 am 21 June 1948, at the University of Manchester, on the Manchester Baby computer.
Glenn A. Beck (background) and Betty Snyder (foreground) program ENIAC in BRL building 328. (U.S. Army photo, c. 1947–1955) ENIAC (/ ˈ ɛ n i æ k /; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) [1] [2] was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945.
In the meantime, she published her first paper on the subject, compilers, in 1952. In the early 1950s, the company was taken over by the Remington Rand corporation, and it was while she was working for them that her original compiler work was done. The program was known as the A compiler and its first version was A-0. [26]: 11
