Chief architect of the Burroughs B5000, Barton was also a co-inventor of dataflow. His thinking was broadly influential.
As one example, Barton influenced the systems and higher-level computer language thinking of Alan Kay, who went on to further develop object-oriented programming, co-design Smalltalk, and develop concepts key to modern GUI systems built into the Macintosh and later Microsoft Windows.
