When Ada translated the article, she added a set of notes which specified in complete detail

a method for calculating certain numbers with the Analytical Engine, which have since been
recognised by historians as the world's first computer program. She also saw possibilities in
it that Babbage hadn't: she realised that the machine could compose pieces of music. The
computer programming language, 'Ada' used in some aviation and military programs, is
named after her.
