Version 2 of JOSS

Country: United States
Designed 1965
Published: 1966
Genus: Generation of JOSS II
Sammet category: On-Line


Second generation of JOSS, including improved maths and interaction, porting to DEC PDP machines.

Still actually called JOSS (and so the first ever recursive acronym - since it no longer ran on the JOHNNIAC, it was the JOSS Open Shop System!) it was only called JOSS II outside RAND. The name was preserved internally to ensure continuity of funding.

Had expanded syntax, added functionality, and incorporated some of the syntax from LISP 1.5 to facilitate one-line logical expressions.
