The Information Processing Languages (IPL's) were a series of conceptual language designs for implementing high level programs. IPL-VI was a language designed meant to be implemented as an interpreted language with microcode support. IPL-VI emphasized advanced (for 1959) computing structures for non-numerical computing, especially list manipulation. A stack was used to pass parameters between subroutines. Since all memory in the IPL-VI design was formatted as list elements, the subroutine parameter LIFO consisted of a list of elements that pointed to the next element further down in the list. IPL-VI instructions used 1-operand addressing.
