ATENÇÃO: O Garbage Collector de Retrópolis está passando novamente na sua rua! - Retrópolis

A linguagem que Thomas Kurtz ajudou a criar, o BASIC, não precisa de garbage collector; aos 96 anos, agora ele vai criar linguagens de programação no Céu. Este post é dedicado ao professor Kurtz.

R.I.P. #ThomasKurtz I grew up with #BASIC - a language that changed the lives of millions of us who couldn't go to grad school and learn C or Pascal just to get started with coding. I think hackathons owe something to you as well. Also, I love that one of the first precursors of BASIC was DOPE 🤣 https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/20/rip_thomas_kurtz/

Desde sus inicios, el lenguaje BASIC ha florecido en múltiples generaciones de computadoras, desde mainframes y minicomputadoras en los 60's, hasta microcomputadoras en los 70s y las PC de los 80's.
Sin el BASIC, que cumple 60 este año, los estudiantes Bill Gates y Paul Allen no podrían haber escrito su propia versión para el Altair 8800. La historia sería muy distinta.
con gran pena y tristeza nos despedimos de este pionero de la computación, Thomas Kurtz

Hace unos días, el 12 de noviembre, falleció uno de los codesarrolladordel lenguaje de programación BASIC, Thomas Eugene Kurtz a los 98 años.
Fue un científico computacional estadunidense que junto a John George Kemeny codesarrollaron el Dartmouth BASIC, la primera versión de este lenguaje de programación, después de crear el Dartmouth Time Sharing System, un SO de tiempo compratido de uso en universidades.

Just seen that Thomas Kurztz passed away a couple of days ago. He was one of the creators of the #BASIC programming language, which was the first language that a lot of us learned. I turned my first computer on and it booted to BASIC. It was just there. I likely owe my entire career and adult life to that. His contribution to the industry cannot be overstated.
