About Turing
Turing was developed in the 1980s by Ric Holt and James Cordy at the University of Toronto. It was created to provide a simple, readable language for teaching programming concepts and principles to students. Its design aimed to facilitate learning by offering clear syntax and supporting multiple programming paradigms.
Strengths of Turing included its simplicity, readability, and suitability for educational purposes. Weaknesses involved its limited use in professional software development and a smaller community compared to other languages. Competitors included Pascal, BASIC, and later languages like Python, which also targeted educational programming.
