CPL -
1. Combined Programming Language. U Cambridge and U London. A very
complex language, syntactically based on ALGOL-60, with a pure functional
subset. Provides the ..where.. form of local definitions. Strongly typed
but has a "general" type enabling a weak form of polymorphism. Functions
may be defined as either normal or applicative order. Typed array and
polymorphic list structures. List selection is through structure matching.
Partially implemented on the Titan (Atlas 2) computer at Cambridge. Led to
the much simpler BCPL. "The Main Features of CPL", D.W. Barron et al,
Computer J 6(2):134-143 (Jul 1963).
2. Conversational Programming Language. DEC. Language similar to PL/I,
for DEC-10 and DEC-20. Manual: DEC-10-LCPLA-B-D.
