I am developing an electronic device design tool using a Fortran compiler. I want to be able to display a graphics that shows the actual geometry of the device. I would like to have the display using generic names for the device structure such as l(ength), w(idth), and t(hicknes).

One of the oldest programming languages, the FORTRAN was developed by a team of programmers at IBM led by John Backus, and was first published in 1957. The name FORTRAN is an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, because it was designed to allow easy translation of math formulas into code.

John Backus was the developer of FORTRAN, for years one of the best known and most used programming systems in the world. ... In 1967, Backus remembered: "As we began to solve one problem, it split up into others we hadn't foreseen. In January 1955, we said we would have it in less than a year. Finally, we did it in 1957."

In February 1957, the Fortran programming language was formally announced to the world. FORTRAN was an acronym for the IBM Mathematical FORmula TRANslating System and was developed by an IBM project team, whose leader John Backus sadly died earlier this year.
