Country: United Kingdom
Designed 1952
Published: 1952
Genus: Early Autocodes
Sammet category: Multi-purpose

Alick E. Glennie, 1952 Royal Armaments Research Establisment. AUTOCODE was possibly the first primitive compiler, it translated symbolic statements into machine language for the Manchester Mark I computer.

Autocoding came to be a generic term for symbolic assembly language programming.
