Ada Lovelace published a program recognized today as a computer program in 1843, showcasing her visionary insight and laying the foundational stones for computer science.
Despite ongoing debates about her title as the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace’s contributions have had a lasting impact on the development of programming languages.
The Ada programming language, named after Lovelace, emerged in 1980 and continues to serve critical functions in high-integrity domains like air traffic control and military systems.
Each year, Ada Lovelace Day strives to raise awareness of women’s contributions to STEM fields while acknowledging the persistent inequalities and challenges women face in the tech industry.
