Colin HoadDay eight of the BBC Micro advent calendar: it's Sophie Wilson! She created the BBC BASIC language, the operating system and much of the system architecture for the Beeb while working at Acorn. Sophie was awarded a CBE in 2019 for her pioneering work. #AdventOfBeeb #BBCMicro
electron.greg@colinhoad Legend.
geekpower@colinhoad yes! Sophie is a rockstar! I wish there was a Sophie Wilson action figure.
Rachel Lawson@colinhoad not to mention the Arm instruction set, used by pretty much everything these days!
@rachel_norfolk Oh indeed, Sophie's influence goes well beyond the BBC Micro!
Christian@colinhoad Thats, how many decades too late?
Andrea Magnorsky 😹 🦙@colinhoad she did a great talk on microprocessors ( a bit of history and future ) at #Codemesh some years ago, it was awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9mzmvhwMqw cc @scottgal
Sophie Wilson - The Future of Microprocessors
@roundcrisis @scottgal I saw her give a similar talk on this topic to the RISC OS user group last year. She's seriously impressive!
