Some say that the technological limitations of that time was the obstacle. But this reason got rejected by many of the people and mostly now say that the the political interference and low funding was the cause.
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
Charles Babbage invented the concept of a programmable mechanical computer known as the Analytical Engine. He conceived this invention in the early 1830s. Although Babbage was unable to complete the construction of the Analytical Engine during his lifetime, his work laid the foundation for the development of modern computers.
Analytical Engine
Though Charles Babbage achieved many things. But Charles Babbage Does not achieve his all goals. Without completing his Difference Engine he went to Analytical Engine. He designed the first programmable machine , the analytical engine. Though he did not complete it fully due to lack of resources and money. But he was right in theory. After some the Analytical engine was finished by some computer scientists and Charles Babbage was credited the "Father of Computers"..
perform calculations according to a program, just like modern computers.

nobody, it was never built
The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete. In other words, the logical structure of the Analytical Engine was essentially the same as that which has dominated computer design in the electronic era.Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding.It was not until the 1940s that the first general-purpose computers were actually built, more than a century after Babbage had proposed the pioneering Analytical Engine in 1837.
