	FORTRAN, originally formulated by IBM in 1954 but didn't have a compiler till 1957 after spending 18 worker-years of effort. The compiler when released featured no separate compilation and programs over 400 lines of code would never compile. FORTRAN itself was designed to limit variable names to six characters and no types - I,J,K,L,M and N were ints. Others were float, because [[oldfags\| real programmers]] only need 6 integers in a program.
