In 1945, #vonNeumann proposed the bus-based #computer #architecture, an advanced #Turing Machine, as it were.

In 1977, #Backus, the father of the first high-level language, FORTRAN, advocated abandoning the "von Neumann bottleneck" and adopting the architecture that is aligned with the FP model.

In 2025, the world is still squeezing itself through the von Neumann bottleneck, still using PP+OO von Neumann languages.

In computing, most things are perennial, but some things are perpetual, for good or ill.
