StriNg Oriented symBOlic Language.

David Farber, Ralph Griswold & I. Polonsky, Bell Labs 1962-3.

String processing language for text and formula manipulation.

SNOBOL is a special purpose language developed to provide a powerful means of doing character string manipulated. Accordingly, it has a collection of powerful operations for doing string pattern matchings. The most common early application of SNOBOL was to write text editors.
Dynamically typed, has no type declarations and no restrictions on the data type of the value of any variable.
