Computer languages on this page are Ada, LISP, and ALGOL.
updated 12-6-2001 Ada is a computer language. It was the result of the efforts of numerous people, four of whom stand out: Jean D. Ichbiah, William E. Carlson, David Fisher, and William A. Whitaker. Together they recognized the need for a common computer language for the U.S. Department of Defense, to replace the over 400 different computer languages and dialects previously in use there, and worked to develop this single one. Ada is a powerful language, allowing types, subprograms, input-output facilities for numerous devices, parallel processing, exception handling, and many other functions. Please note that it is named for Countess Augusta Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, and is therefore not an acronym. 005.133 Ada letters A191 RID: 83-647626 ITEM #: add00001 005.133 Barnes, J. G.

updated 12-24-2001 ALGOL was invented by an international committee - actually by several: the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Gesellschaft fur angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik (GAMM); and since 1958 has been overseen by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). Intended to be a language between machine level and sophisticated programming languages, ALGOL serves programmers by trans- lating programming statements via algebra into machine code; thus it was early called "automatic programming." The name ALGOL is an acronym for "Algorithmic Language." There are various dialects including ALGOL 60 and ALGOL 68. 651.8 Adams, J. Mack, 1933- A2141i An introduction to computer science / J.
