Short computer history thread!
- Year: 1968
- Problem: Non-computer specialists at RAND needed to compute but did not know how to type yet

It was called GRaIL for graphic input language. It was quite powerful, the system was written in itself(!) for example and also included a real-time debugger for the interpreter. 😅
