Alan Turing & Pyronome

We dream of a world where software makes human life easier and efficiency is tremendously increased. We would like to see more and more people join this journey everyday. This can only be possible with fast development environment.

Like Alan Turing said once, “Those who can imagine anything, can create the impossible.”

Sometimes, approaching a problem against the existing patterns is the only key to the solution. This is where the Pyronome got inspired.

Alan Mathison Turing

Alan Mathison Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. He is currently known as father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer.
