  The funniest part to me is how ‘this month’ is absolutely meaningless. It was over 65 years ago last month too, and the month before that

    Not if it happened in September

    A draft specification for The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System was completed by November 1954.: 71  The first manual for FORTRAN appeared in October 1956,: 72  with the first FORTRAN compiler delivered in April 1957.

    None of those milestones though…

    Is OP a repost bot or something?
