language
the autocode for the ferranti atlas, which may have been the first commercial computer with hardware-paged virtual memory. whereas other autocodes were basically -ssembly languages, atlas autocode was high-level and block-structured, resembling a cross between fortran and algol 60. it had call-by value, loops, declarations, complex numbers, pointers, heap and stack storage generators, dynamic arrays, and extensible syntax.
