Question

低级编程语言是与计算机同时出现的吗?

Providing a response in Chinese

The user is asking whether low-level programming languages emerged at the same time as computers. I'll explain that early computers used machine code and hardwiring, and low-level languages developed shortly afterward. Machine code existed as soon as stored-program architecture existed, with assembly following in the early 1950s.

Clarifying computer and low-level language development

The early computers from the 1930s/40s were either analog or rewired for programming, not using formal languages. Machine code existed as soon as stored-program computers appeared, around the late 1940s. Assembly languages developed in the 1950s, after machine code. Generally, high-level languages like Fortran came shortly thereafter.

Answer

不算“严格同时”,但非常接近。

  • 最早的电子计算设备(1930–40年代) 多靠插线板、拨码开关或继电器配线来“编程”,当时还谈不上编程语言。
  • 存储程序型计算机出现(1940年代末) 后,机器一上来就需要能执行的机器语言(0/1 指令)——它与这种现代意义上的计算机几乎同步出现,可以说是“与计算机同生”的最低级语言。
  • 为了让人更好写机器码,汇编语言很快在随后几年出现并普及(把操作码和地址用助记符表示,汇编器再翻译成机器码)。
  • 高阶语言(如 FORTRAN 等)则要晚许多,在1950年代中后期才成熟。

结论:如果指的是“机器语言”,它与现代计算机几乎同时出现;如果指的是更方便的人类可读的“低级语言”(汇编),那是紧随其后、稍晚于计算机本体出现的。
