History of Programming Languages II

This specially prepared work comprises a living archive of important programming languages, described by the people most instrumental in their creation and development. Fourteen chapters cover a broad range of languages in wide use today, as well as lesser known languages that made significant contributions to programming language evolution: C, C++, Smalltalk, Pascal, Ada, Prolog, Lisp, ALGOL 68, FORMAC, CLU, Icon, Forth, Monitors and Concurrent Pascal, and Discrete Simulation Languages. This volume will be of interest to researchers, teachers, students, and computing professionals everywhere who are involved in the use or the development of programming languages today.
