John Warner Backus (Filadélfia, 3 de dezembro de 1924 — Ashland, 17 de março de 2007) [1] foi um cientista da computação estadunidense. Conhecido por criar a primeira linguagem de programação de alto nível - o Fortran - a notação BNF e o conceito de programação em nível de funções.
John Warner Backus (December 3, 1924 – March 17, 2007) was an American computer scientist. He led the team that invented and implemented FORTRAN, the first widely used high-level programming language, and was the inventor of the Backus–Naur form (BNF), a widely used notation to define syntaxes of formal languages.
Backus is best known as the father of Fortran, the first widely used, high-level programming language that helped open the door to modern computing
30 de abr. de 2024 · John Warner Backus (born Dec. 3, 1924, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.—died March 17, 2007, Ashland, Ore.) was an American computer scientist and mathematician who led the team that designed FORTRAN (formula translation), the first important algorithmic language for computers.
John Backus, Fortran’s primary author, described the process as “hand-to-hand combat with the machine,” with the machine often winning. The cost of programmers was usually at least as great as the cost of the computers, and programmers spent up to half their time debugging.
25 de abr. de 2007 · John Backus, who died on 17 March, was a pioneer in the early development of computer programming languages, and was subsequently a leading researcher in so-called functional programming.
