The first Autocode and compiler in the modern sense were developed by Alick Glennie in 1952 at the University of Manchester for the Mark 1 computer. The FORTRAN team led by John W. Backus at IBM introduced the first commercially available compiler, in 1957, which took 18 person-years to create.
One of the first real compilers was the FORTRAN compiler of the late 1950s. It allowed a programmer to use a problem- oriented source language. Ambitious “optimizations” were used to produce efficient machine code, which was vital for early computers with quite limited capabilities.
