SNOBOL4(ID:303/sno005)

Classic SNOBOL 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1967
Published: 1967
Genus: Patterns
Sammet category: String and List Processing

Griswold et al, 1967. Quite distinct from its predecessors. Unix port of the original macro implementation
Declarative with dynamic scope.
Patterns are first-class data objects that can be constructed by concatenation and alternation. Success and failure used for flow control.
Delayed (unevaluated) expressions can be used to implement recursion. Table data type.
