COMIT - Victor H. Yngve, MIT, 1957-8. The first string-handling and
pattern-matching language, designed for applications in natural language
translation. The user has a workspace organized into shelves. Strings are
made of constituents (words), accessed by subscript. A program is a set of
rules, each of which has a pattern, a replacement and goto another rule.
Implemented on IBM 7090. "COMIT Programmers Reference Manual", V.H.
