In 1978, the Association from Computer
Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group (SIGPLAN) sponsored a Conference
on the History of Programming Languages (HOPL). Papers were prepared
and presentations made at a conference in Los Angeles, California.
The Program Committee selected thirteen languages that met the criteria
of having been in use for at least 10 years, had significant influence,
and were still in use. The languages were: ALGOL, APL, APT, BASIC,
COBOL, FORTRAN, GPSS, JOSS, JOVIAL, LISP, PL/I, SIMULA, SNOBOL. The
results of that conference were recorded in "History of Programming
Languages", edited by Richard L. Wexelblat [New York: Academic
Press, 1981] |
