The United Kingdom had a very strong tradition of language development which eventually succumbed to the internationalism that job-shop programming demanded. Influenced by, and influencing, the strong Fortran/IT/MathMatic/Algol tradition it nevertheless had its own style, its own way of producing solutions, and ways of doing computing that were unique. The tradition began with the first running computers at Manchester and Cambridge, and ended up with the glorious swansong of IMP at Edinburgh, which underpinned the golden age of AI research there. It ranged from Sydney to CERN to Seattle, and on its journey it not only rivalled Fortran and Algol, but also Cobol, Lisp and the simulation languages. This tour will guide you through some of the more memorable autocodes, and show examples of the code and some insights into the approach to computing it embodied.
