 Ndeupi waiva mutauro wekutanga mutekinoroji wepamusoro-soro wepurogiramu dzema kombiyuta yenyika 1957?Mutauro wekutanga wepamusoro-pamwero wepakombiyuta wepasirese, wakagadzirwa muna 1957, waiva Fortran pfupi ye Formula Translation. Fortran yakagadzirwa neIBM International Business Machines Corporation yekuverenga kwesainzi uye engineering. Yakagadzirirwa kubvumira vanogadzira mapurogiramu kunyora mirairo vachishandisa mutauro unoverengeka uye unofananidzira mutauro, kusiyana nekodhi yemuchina wepasi uye mitauro yegungano yaimboshandiswa.Fortran yakaita basa rakakosha mukusimudzira sainzi yekombuta uye kuvandudzwa kwesoftware yemashandisirwo esainzi nemasvomhu. Yakaunza pfungwa dzakaita sezvishwe, zvimiso, uye subroutines, zvichiita kuti zvive nyore kune vanogadzira mapurogiramu kunyora zvakaoma kuverenga uye simulations.Kubva payakavambwa, Fortran yakapfuura nekudzokorodza kwakati wandei uye zvigadziriso, neFortran 77 uye Fortran 90 ichizivikanwa shanduro. Kunyangwe uri mutauro wechikuru, Fortran ichiri kushandiswa nanhasi, kunyanya mune zvesainzi uye zvepamusoro-kuita komputa maapplication uko kushanda nesimba uye kurongeka kwenhamba kwakakosha.
