Synopsis

This pioneering book comprehensively details the development of MICRO SPITBOL, a groundbreaking adaptation of the popular SNOBOLh programming language for micro and minicomputers. The author, a leading expert in the field, takes the reader on a journey through the intricacies of compiling and interpreting programming languages, presenting both the challenges and rewards of such work in a detailed and informative manner. Key to the author's approach is the preservation of MICRO SPITBOL's structure and machine independence while navigating the constraints of smaller computers, particularly their severe memory and tiny size limitations. The text also offers valuable insights into the algorithmic problems that arise when utilizing procedures designed to condense interpretive object code. Through its in-depth analysis, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of computer science, the evolution of programming languages, and the intricacies of compiler design.
