SMALL is a ALGOL-like programming language developed by Dr. Nevil Brownlee of Auckland University.
History
The aim of the language was to enable people to write ALGOL-like code that ran on a small machine. It also included the string type for easier text manipulation.SMALL was used extensively from about 1980 to 1985 at Auckland University as a programming teaching aid, and for some internal projects. Originally written to run on a Boroughs 6700 Main Frame in Fortran IV(?), subsequently rewritten in SMALL and ported to a DEC PDP-10 Architecture (on the Operating System TOPS-10) and IBM S360 Architecture (on the Operating System VM/CMS).
About 1984 SMALL had some object oriented features added to handle structures (That were missing from the early language), and to formalise file manipulation operations.
Other programming languages called SMALL
CompuPhase [SMALL] is a simple, typeless, 32-bit extension language with a C-like syntax. It is designed to be useful as an embedded programming language and is distributed under a liberal zLib/libpng license. This language is useful as a safer environment within or alongside the C programming language, for instance as a scripting language in games programming or on resource-limited systems. Now, however, it has been renamed to [PAWN].See also
