	B programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		B was the name of a programming language developed at Bell Labs.
		B continued to see use as late as the 1990s on Honeywell mainframes, and on certain embedded systems for a variety of reasons, including limited hardware in the small systems; extensive libraries, tools, licensing cost issues; and simply being good enough for the job on others.
		Draft Proposal for the B Programming Language, Lambert Meertens, CWI, Amsterdam, 1981.

	Little b (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little b is being developed in the Virtual Cell Program at Harvard Medical School, headed by mathematician Jeremy Gunawardena.
		This programming language is based on LISP and is meant to allow modular programming to model biological systems.
		The language was originally denoted with a lowercase b (distinguishing it from B, the predecessor to the widely used C language), but the name was eventually changed to "little b" to avoid confusion and to pay homage to smallTalk, the first object-oriented programming language.

	Embedded.com - B# - A programming language for small footprint embedded systems applications: Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		B# (pronounced “be sharp”) is a tiny, object-oriented, and multi-threaded programming language that is specially dedicated for small footprint embedded systems.
		Despite the evolution of object-orientation and the development of advanced language features such as interfaces, delegates, and properties, the linga franca for embedded systems programmers continues to be the C programming language.
		Each B# program consists of one or more source files.Eac h file is composed of types which, in turn, are composed of members.Classes, interfaces, and delegates are examples of different types and fields, methods, properties, interrupt handlers, and device registers are examples of different members.

	Brian Ziman : English 302 N01 : Narration : Final to be Graded
		The C programming language found its beginnings at Bell Laboratories in the late 1960s as part of the project to develop a new operating system called Unix for the PDP class of mini-computers from the Digital Equipment Corporation.
		The B programming language was based on the Basic Combined Programming Language (BCPL) developed by Martin Richards a few years earlier, in 1967, at MIT.
		The language came from a practical need to have a high level language that, while flexible and easy to use, was close enough to the hardware to be efficient for system level programming, and at the same time, portable across different systems.

	B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		B was later improved by Kerninghan(?) and Ritchie to produce C.
		B was in fact a revision of an earlier language, bon, named after Ken Thompson's wife, Bonnie.
		B has been used in major safety-critical system specifications in Europe, and is currently attracting increasing interest in industry.

	BCPL - TheBestLinks.com - AmigaOS, Bootstrapping, B programming language, Computer, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) is a computer programming language that was designed by Martin Richards of the University of Cambridge (1966) as a response to difficulties with its predecessor CPL during the 1960s.
		The language is unusual in having only one data type: a word (a fixed number of bits, usually chosen to align with the architecture's machine word).
		It is reputedly the language in which the original hello world program was written.

	B# - A programming language for embedded systems applications
		Also, as for your assertion that good programmers learn a new language quickly, I find that most often seasoned programmers that need to dabble in a new language will simply try to program in C using the syntax of the new language (this is especially true if you're under a time constraint).
		B# is not based on B. If this language is based on C, then a new postfix should have been used.
		Though B# is a programming language for embedded systems, a programmer should ALSO know assembly as they might not know how B# will compile the program in to machine code.

	The Programming Language B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		B is a computer language designed by D. Ritchie and K. Thompson, for primarily non-numeric applications such as system programming.
		On the H6070 TSS system, B programs are usually much easier to write and understand than assembly language programs, and object code efficiency is almost as good.
		By this time, use of B in the early Unix system was already pretty much at an end; early C had already taken over (see The Development of the C Language).

	PL/B - Programming Language for Business
		PL/B is a modern business-oriented language that is used throughout the world by a wide variety of programmers.
		The first computers to run this language were built by Datapoint Corporation, and typically came configured with 4k to 16k of RAM, contained 12 line by 80 column displays, and a typewriter-like keyboard that contained a numeric pad.
		Because COBOL and other contemporary languages could not deal with the display and keyboard, and because the languages probably would not fit in the available memory, Datapoint invented DATABUS®, its proprietary version of the PL/B programming language.

	The Creation of the UNIX* Operating System: From B language to NB to C (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The first version of UNIX was written in assembler language, but Thompson's intention was that it would be written in a high-level language.
		Second, the basic notions of B, which was based on the word-oriented BCPL, just were not right for a byte-oriented machine like the new PDP-11.
		Ritchie used the PDP-11 to add types to B, which for a while was called NB for "New B," and then he started to write a compiler for it.

	Esoteric programming language - Esolang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		An esoteric programming language is a computer programming language designed to experiment with weird ideas, to be hard to program in, or as a joke, rather than for practical use.
		Some languages are created mainly for the purpose of being weird and difficult to program in.
		INTERCAL's main purpose was to be as different as possible compared to normal languages (although there are still many similarities with conventional programming languages), and Malbolge was designed with the goal of being next to impossible to use.

	Brian Ziman : English 302 N01 : Narration : Draft
		The C programming language is the building block from which the most popular modern computer application programming interfaces and operating systems are constructed.
		The B programming language was based on the BCPL language developed by Martin Richards a few years earlier at MIT.
		The pre-processor is a mechanism, still in use today, for performing simple text substitution through directives in code before the code is compiled, for example to #include the text of one source file into that spot in another file, or to #define a macro or a constant.

	Embedded.com - B# - A programming language for small footprint embedded systems applications: Part 2
		Other memory that is not preallocated, commonly referred to as the heap, is allocated dynamically either at load time (for literals and application code) or at run time (for objects and operand stacks).
		These systems provide the B# language with the low-level support to access device registers, create threads, and handle interrupts.
		An example of such proliferation is the add instruction which has a variation for each type of information: badd for byte addition, sadd for short addition, iadd for integer addition, and so on.

		What is D? D is a (relatively) new addition to the C family of programming languages, intended as a successor to C++ but also incorporating ideas and improvements from other C-like languages such as Java and C#.
		It is an object-oriented, garbage-collected, systems programming language that is compiled to executable rather than bytecode.
		While C++ pioneered in generic programming and brought objects to the masses, its complexity makes it very hard to add new features, and so it lags behind in newer techniques such as design-by-contract, unit-testing, and include dependency resolution.
