  BLISS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BLISS is a system programming language developed at Carnegie Mellon University by W.
BLISS is a typeless block-structured language based on expressions rather than statements, and includes constructs for exception handling, coroutines, and macros.
DEC developed and maintained BLISS compilers for the PDP-10, PDP-11, DEC Alpha, Intel IA64, and VAX, and used it heavily in-house into the 1980s; most of the utility programs for the VMS operating system were written in BLISS-32.

C is often described, with a mixture of fondness and disdain varying according to the speaker, as "a language that combines all the elegance and power of assembly language with all the readability and maintainability of assembly language".
ICI is a programming language with a dynamic, object based data model with the flow control constructs and operators of C. It is designed for use in many environments, including embedded systems, as an adjunct to other programs and as a text based interface to compiled libraries.
V is a new parallel programming language based on C. V extends C with a new type constructor for vectors and introduces parallelism using an apply-to-each construct and some built-in primitives.

Preceding the first programming language in the alphabet, literature is listed on several languages, as are general papers on programming languages and on the theory of formal languages (AAA).
The BLISS programming language was invented by William A. Wulf and others at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1969, originally for the DEC PDP-10.
BLISS has a number of unusual characteristics: it is typeless, requires use of an explicit contents of operator (written as a period or dot), takes an algorithmic approach to data structure definition, has no goto, is an expression language, and has an unusually rich compile-time language.

A programming language should both provide means to describe primitive data and procedures and means to combine and abstract those into more complex ones.
With its emphasis on program safety, it is not surprising that Ada is a strongly typed language: all data elements must be declared as storing a particular type or subtype, and type enforcement is strictly applied both within and between modules.
The basic view of programming exhibited by Escher and related languages is the a program is a representation of a theory in some logic framework, and the program's execution (computation) is a deduction from the theory.

 System programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The primary distinctive characteristic of systems programming when compared to application programming is that application programming is to produce software which provides services to the user (e.g.
Systems programming is sufficiently different from application programming that programmers tend to specialize in one or the other.
Experiments with hardware support in high-level languages in the late 1960s led to such languages as BLISS and BCPL, but C, helped by the growth of UNIX, became ubiquitous in the 1980s.

This notion, that a BLISS program consists solely of declarations and expressions, and that these expressions can become arbitrarily complex yet compute a single value during the execution of the program, represents a key concept the reader must understand to properly construct BLISS programs and fully exploit the language's power.
BLISS requires that control expressions be enclosed entirely in parentheses when used in contexts which make use of their values.
The predefined BLISS linkage specifies that a routine returns a value and that all actual arguments are to be placed on the stack.
