Compaq web language 


Compaq (Originally Digital's) Web Language
Similar in style to Pascal
Two of the language's unique features are service combinators and markup algebra. Service combinators are an exception-handling mechanism that makes computations on the web more reliable. Markup algebra provides a way to extract information from and manipulate web pages. By using these features it becomes much easier to implement tools like web shopping robots, meta-search engines, HTML analysis and checking routines, bots, business-to-business integration tools, and so on.
