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. COMIT was implemented on the IBM 7090.
