In 1954, the field of computer science was still in its infancy, but several significant developments marked that year, particularly in the realm of programming languages and hardware. 1. **Fortran Development**: One of the most notable introductions in 1954 was the development of Fortran (short for "Formula Translation"), a high-level programming language designed for scientific and engineering calculations. Fortran was created by a team at IBM led by John Backus.
