KOMPILER 3 for IBM 704

K3 compiler group at Livermore -

Some records say March 1958, but discussed by Bemer November 1957

featured a three line (ie 2-dimensional) input

"This program, for the 704, is being written to serve the special needs of the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Livermore. It is FORTRAN-like, but it implies a sharp criticism of the lack of sufficient mathematical characters in today's computers by coding each algebraic statement in three lines (or punched cards). Thus the superscripts and subscripts stand out from the main statement. This eliminates a great deal of the otherwise necessary parentheses and special notation, although the total effect is an increase in card volume for a given program."
