In computing, a notation system (Backus-Naur Form) used to describe formal languages and grammar rules; named after John W. Backus.
Proper name from John W. Backus (1924-2007), the American computer scientist who developed it. Named after the individual who created the system.
Backus-Naur Form is one of the few programming concepts named after a person that's still actively used—it's the language that describes languages, making it a layer of abstraction that even seasoned programmers find mind-bending.
