Euler (programming language)
open-in-new
<p>Euler is a <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> created by <a href="/facts/Niklaus_Wirth/krsLUB11">Niklaus Wirth</a> and Helmut Weber, conceived as an extension and generalization of <a href="/facts/ALGOL_60/QnpxUYQm">ALGOL 60</a>. The designers' goals were to create a language that is: </p> <ul><li>Simpler, yet more flexible, than ALGOL 60</li> <li>Useful and processed with reasonable efficiency</li> <li>Definable with <a href="/facts/Formal_methods/tw4FCWIb">rigorous formality</a></li></ul> <p>Available sources indicate that Euler was operational by 1965. </p>
