The first electronic stored-program digital computer to be proposed in the U.S. was the EDVAC (see below). The âFirst Draft of a Report on the EDVACâ (May 1945), composed by von Neumann, contained little engineering detail, in particular concerning electronic hardware (owing to restrictions in the U.S.).
A few of these people pre-date the invention of the digital computer; they are now regarded as computer scientists because their work can be seen as leading to the invention of the computer. John Mauchly (1907â1980) â designed ENIAC, first general-purpose electronic digital computer, as well as EDVAC, BINAC and UNIVAC I, the first commercial computer; worked with Jean Bartik on ENIAC and Grace Murray Hopper on UNIVAC. 2  John McCarthy â Lisp (programming language) , artificial intelligence. 3  Andrew McCallum.
