Mother of Compilers

Everything has a mother or a father, sort of, everything must be created first by someone or something and when we talk about compilers Grace Hopper is the one we should be looking for, as the title says, Grace Hopper is called the mother of compilers because she rightly won herself that name in an era where there were already computers and everyone had to wrote programs depending on which computer they we working with and not everyone could write programs because it usually required big knowledges in mathematics she thought that thing should change and because of that she developed what has come to know as the first compiler next to the first programming language for a more common use COBOL so more people could use computers and program things that would help them in the different task, if you know about compilers you will understand that this is not a trivial task, even more considering the time in which she was working where this area was completely new, because of this we can assure she was way ahead of her time and we need to thank her for all the hard work she did for us in the computing areas.

Seeing this accomplishments we can see how Grace Hopper right know is a big inspiration for many women in this fields and that is very exiting to see because at least talking from experience there are less women interested in this areas thing which shouldn’t be like that at least if that factor only comes because of a gender differentiation and it is really awesome to see as it is displayed in the video the great increment that has come in this area for women when they showed the Grace Hopper celebration she indeed should be a great inspiration to people in the computer science areas next to all the people we know like Wozniak, Jobs, Gates etc.
