OK SO let's say it's 1962 and you're lucky enough to be a programmer working somewhere that has an IBM 7090.
This is a top of the line transistorized revision of the IBM 709, capable of 100,000 floating point operations per second.
But how do you code for it?

Imagine going back in time and walking in with a modern laptop that easily does GFLOPs and setting it down and going to work as everyone around you was punching out their cards.
