The year 1954 is significant in the history of computing for several reasons, particularly due to the development of programming languages. One notable event is the introduction of FORTRAN (short for "Formula Translation"), which was one of the earliest high-level programming languages. Developed by IBM for scientific and engineering calculations, FORTRAN made it easier for programmers to write complex mathematical expressions without needing to deal directly with machine code.
