        Subject: Re: [Humanist] 37.277 Rojas on Zuse's computers (Springer)

A wonderful book under many aspects.

Stochastiche Texte, which is probably the second text produced by
programming a digital computer, was created by Theo Lutz on a Z22
computer, the first one being probably Christopher Strachey´s
"Love-letters".

The available sources are discording about the language used by Lutz on
the Z22: most say Fortran, some say ALGOL;
but after browsing the book by Raúl Rojas i feel that neither was in use
on the Zuse computers.

Can anyone confirm or disprove this info?

best
Maurizio
