COMIT(ID:19/com007)

String-handling and pattern-matching language 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1957
Published: 1957
Genus: List
Sammet category: String and List Processing

The first string-handling and pattern-matching language, designed for applications in natural language translation. The user has a workspace organized into shelves. Strings are made of constituents (words), accessed by subscript. A program is a set of rules, each of which has a pattern, a replacement and goto another rule.
