Introduction to Programming Languages
1995The primary aim of this chapter is to provide a short history of program language development and give some idea as to the concepts that have had an impact on Fortran. It concentrates on some but not all of the major milestones of the last 40 years, in roughly chronological order. The secondary aim is to show the breadth of languages available.

Minicomputer programming languages
ACM SIGMINI Newsletter, 1976Reduced hardware costs have made high level languages for minicomputers a necessity. A survey of some of the languages available. (FORTRAN, BASIC, FOCAL, PL-11, C, SPL, MPL, PLM, and BCPL) demonstrates the current need for a simple, portable, and readable minicomputer language.

Programming Language for Automata
Journal of the ACM, 1967The techniques of automatic programming are useful for constructive proofs in automata theory. A formal definition of an elementary programming language for a stack automaton is given, and it is shown how this may be readily adapted to other classes of automata.

Common Language: Business Programming Languages and the Legibility of Programming
IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, 2018The English-like business programming language COBOL saw widespread use from its introduction in 1960 well into the 1980s, despite being disdained by computer science academics. This article traces out decisions made during COBOLs development, and argues that its English-like appearance was a rhetorical move designed to make the concept of code itself ...

Proceedings of the May 1-3, 1962, spring joint computer conference on - AIEE-IRE '62 (Spring), 1962 The paper describes a succinct problem-oriented programming language. The language is broad in scope, having been developed for, and applied effectively in, such diverse areas as microprogramming, switching theory, operations research, information retrieval, sorting theory, structure of compilers, search procedures, and language translation.

AbstractSubroutines for numerical computation have in the past been written mainly in Fortran and in Algol 60, whereas most programming in the future is expected to be in more advanced languages, for example in Ada. It seems to be a great waste if it will become necessary to convert all existing numerical software into the new languages. What is needed

An exploration of program as language
ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2009In this paper we explore the idea that the code that constitutes a program actually forms a higher-level, program specific language. The symbols of the language are the abstractions of the program, and the grammar of the language is the set of (generally unwritten) rules about the allowable combinations of those abstractions. As such, a program is both

DSSSL specifies a programming language based on Scheme [Dybvig1996], a standard functional programming language. The two languages differ in some ways but these differences are not relevant to this book. DSSSL is a small and exceptionally clear language, designed to have just a few regular constructions that can be composed easily.

Programming language semantics
ACM Computing Surveys, 1996A programming language possesses syntax and semantics. Syntax refers to the spelling of the language’s programs, and semantics refers to the meanings of the programs. A language’s syntax is formalized by a grammar or syntax chart; such formalizations are found in the back of language manuals.

The programming language ACTUS
Software: Practice and Experience, 1983AbstractThis paper describes, in an informal manner, the programming language ACTUS which was designed to facilitate programming array processing and vector processing ‘supercomputers’.ACTUS extends the program structuring and data structuring facilities of Pascal to the synchronous parallel environment as represented by array and vector processor ...
