PL/1 [Programming Language 1], developed in the late 1960s by the IBM Corp., and ADA [for Ada Augusta, countess of Lovelace, biographer of Charles Babbage], developed in 1981 by the U.S. Dept. of Defense, are designed for both business and scientific use.
PILOT [Programmed Instruction Learning, Or Testing] is used in writing instructional software, and Occam is a nonsequential language that optimizes the execution of a program’s instructions in parallel-processing systems.
With some languages, such as C or Pascal, the program is turned into a separate machine language program by a compiler, which functions much as an assembler does.

 Smalltalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed, reflective, programming language designed at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Ted Kaehler, Adele Goldberg, and others during the 1970s, influenced by Sketchpad and Simula.
The first implementation, known as Smalltalk-71, was created in a few mornings on a bet that a programming language based on the idea of message passing inspired by Simula could be implemented in "a page of code".
Smalltalk programs are usually compiled to bytecode, which is then interpreted by a virtual machine or dynamically translated into machine-native code.

Program managers are once again required to cope with a multiple-language policy rather than a single-language policy.
Gone are the days when a program manager would be able to insist on a validated compiler for the chosen programming language.
Paige's SEPR memo suggests that programming language selection should be a carefully considered process with the decision made on the basis of criteria derived from the project requirements.

Cilk is a language for multithreaded parallel programming based on ANSI C. Cilk is designed for general-purpose parallel programming, but it is especially effective for exploiting dynamic, highly asynchronous parallelism, which can be difficult to write in data-parallel or message-passing style.
Unlike many other multithreaded programming systems, Cilk is algorithmic, in that the runtime system employs a scheduler that allows the performance of programs to be estimated accurately based on abstract complexity measures.
Porch is a source-to-source compiler that translates C programs into semantically equivalent C programs which are capable of saving and recovering from portable checkpoints.

This report describes the implementation of a computer-aided instructional (CAI) program, which was developed using the UTAH PILOT programming language, to convey basic information about DIALOG to students in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Winona State University.
The CAI program was divided into three parts: (1) an introduction to DIALOG and the basic commands; (2) a brief review and a quiz; and (3) examples of an actual search in DIALOG.
It is noted that, although no students who had completed the CAI program had availed themselves of the opportunity to conduct an online search under librarian supervision, a definite improvement had been observed in both the number and the quality of the online search requests submitted from the College of Nursing.
