Titles like these make me chortle. Over 65 years ago this month means it could be 70, 80, 100 etc.
Any idea what that first program was?
I’m guessing “Hello world” followed shortly by “send nudes”.
Considering fortran was designed for numerical computation, it was probably a east to check mathematical identity like n*(n+1)/2 = 0 + 1 + 2 + … + n
That was a mistake even back then
Fortran was actually a pretty solid language, and I actually regularly use programs that still have pieces written in Fortran.
