Mahrishi Panini is said to have lived around 500 BC acc to western historians. But this is at most an educated guess based upon context references of his written work. His manuscript Ashtadhyayi consists of 8 chapters and 4000 verses.

Freidrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege of Germany (1848-1925) too was influenced by him; he became known as d First Logic Scientist of modern era. Even tho 2400 yrs before Panini had already written all that this gentleman claimd to hv discoverd firsthand.

During formation of grammar grids in his book, Mahrishi Panini made use of Auxiliary Symbols n they were very much helpful in making d rules of grammar stronger. Using same technique Scientist Emil Post (1897-1954) initiated development of a Computer Programming Language. (CPL)
Iowa State Univ of USA even developed a language named after him. It can be found at paninij.org
The MLBD Newsletter (Monthly for Indologicak Bibliography) in 1993 declared Mahrishi Panini to be the First Software Man Without Hardware.

In this article titled "Sanskrit Software For Future Hardware" it was said that "After 3 decades of trying to mold natural languages to computer programming, scientist have finally found that in this field too they've been defeated 2600 years ago"

It further says "We don't know where n how these symbols n rules were applied in tht era, but today many computer scientists of this world agree that in the modern era Sanskrit Grammar is capable of solving all problems of Computer Programming.

NASA scientist Rick Briggs also found a connection between grammar rules of Mahrishi Panini n Artificial Intelligence, d latest frontier of modern day technology. Research worth millions of dollars is being conducted on this in many western nations.

It is a pity that while rest of the world is aware of the superiority n potential of Devbhasha Sanskrit, we, its natural inheritors, have abandoned it altogether n often look down upon people who're fluent in Sanskrit rather than European languages.
