Ivan Sutherland goes as far as identifying Simula as the first object oriented programming language, on Sketchpad: A man-machine graphical communication system (page 4), also recognizing C.A.R. Hoare's, Douglas T. Ross', ALGOL's and Sketchpad's influences:
Dec 26, 2019 · In 1913, German scientist Friedrich Bergius developed a hydrogenation process for producing synthetic oil from coal dust. Twelve years later, his countrymen, Franz Fisher and Hans Tropsch, developed a process for converting a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons.
Mar 26, 2024 · Simula has its roots at the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC) in Oslo during the early 1960s. At the time, a mathematician named Kristen Nygaard became interested in using code to simulate complex, real-world systems. However, Nygaard lacked specialized programming skills.
Dec 6, 2019 · SIMULA I was originally only considered as a system description and simulation language, not as a general programming language. SIMULA I was implemented for UNIVAC 1100 series computers, later on also for Burroughs B5500 and URAL 16.
Jun 14, 2022 · Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard created the Simula programming languages in the 1960s at the Norwegian Computer Center. They introduced a new way of modeling and simulating complex tasks. Object-oriented programming is now dominant in systems development.
