Alef programming language
Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALE : Alef programming language
The Alef programming language was designed by Phil Winterbottom of Bell Labs as part of the Plan 9 operating system.
In a February 2000 slideshow, Rob Pike noted: "…although Alef was a fruitful language, it proved too difficult to maintain a variant language across multiple architectures, so we took what we learned from it and built the thread library for C."
