Ask the right questions to secure the right ABC. talent among an increasingly shrinking pool of talent.
ABC is a high-level computer programming language developed in the late 1970s by Leo Geurts, Lambert Meertens, and Steven Pemberton at CWI, Netherlands. It was designed as an alternative to BASIC, aiming to enable beginners to start quickly with a simpler and more user-friendly syntax. Despite its simplicity, ABC incorporated groundbreaking features such as data structures, exception handling, and object-oriented programming. Though it never gained widespread use, ABC significantly influenced the design of Python, one of today's most popular languages. The original documentation and interpreter for ABC are preserved by the Software Preservation Group at the Computer History Museum.
