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 ...

Software: Practice and Experience, 1984
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.

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 ...

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.

Protection in programming languages
Communications of the ACM, 1973Linguistic mechanisms which can be used to protect one subprogram from another's malfunctioning are described. Function-producing functions and various type-tagging schemes are considered. An attempt is made to distinguish between access limitation and authentication.

The programming language PASCAL
Microprocessors and Microsystems, 1979Abstract In Part 1, the structure of a PASCAL program as a collection of declarations and statements was laid out. This part begins with a description of PASCAL's unique facilities for defining data types to suit a particular problem. Statements, the sequences of reserved words, identifiers and symbols that specify the actions in a PASCAL program ...

The programming system ATES is especially devoted to large scientific and technical domains. It involves an algorithmic programming language, some program manipulation tools, and an execution environment, which all are integrated in the ATES system in such a way that a programmer can develop his scientific and technical application without having to ...

Programming Language Processors
1966Publisher Summary A programming language processor is considered a formal method for translating from any specified programming language to machine language. This chapter focusses on theoretical or conceptual considerations underlying the design of programming language processors.
