    Grace Hopper was a pioneering American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral. In the 1940s, she wrote the first computer programming manual and popularized the term "bug" after finding an actual moth stuck in a computer. She later created the first compiler while working on the UNIVAC, writing a program that translated programming code into machine code. Her creation of the first compiler in the 1950s was a major milestone that advanced programming by introducing higher-level languages and simplifying the process of writing code.

    "Grace Hopper: The First Compiler in History

    But Ada Lovelace was not the only one, because a century after her death, the first compiler

    was created (that is, a program that translates programming language into machine or binary

    language) and it was done by a woman.

    She created the first programming manual.

    Let's go back to the 1940s, when the world of programming was just beginning. Yes, the time

    when computers did not fit in the palm of your hand like they do now, but were found in

    universities, and were extensive machines weighing several tons.

    At that time, computers were electromechanical, and cables and switches were used to

    program them in binary or assembly language.

    It was during this time that Grace Hopper wrote the first programming book: an instruction

    manual for programming the Mark I computer. In addition, with her team, she popularized

    the term "bug" because a moth was found that blocked the operation of the Mark II. Read the

    full story on this blog!

    She created the first compiler.

    Later, while working on the UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer, another of the first

    commercial computers), she suggested to her team that computers could be programmed in

    English.

    Her colleagues rejected her for 3 years, saying it was not possible, and that computers do not

    understand English. But she did not give up, she said she would make it possible.

    So, tired of having to program in tedious assembly language, she created FLOW-MATIC, the

    first compiler.

    Her achievement was a true milestone for computer science, so much so that she was later on

    the committees that created the first programming languages: Fortran and COBOL."
