Although the computer was thought-about “small and primitive” by the standards of its time, it was the first working machine to comprise all of the parts important to a modern electronic pc. As soon as the Baby had demonstrated the feasibility of its design, a project was initiated at the university to develop it into a more usable computer, the Manchester Mark 1. Grace Hopper was the primary person to develop a compiler for programming language.
