Babbage
The structured assembly language for the General Electric Company 4xxx range of
computers and their OS4000 operating system. It is strictly an assembler in that
the generated code is relatively predictable but it can be written in a
sufficiently structured manner, with indentation, control statements, function
and procedure calls, to make the resultant source easy to read and manage. Even
with this visible structure however, it is important to remember that the
assembly of the statement is done left to right.
The British videotext system, Prestel is programmed in Babbage.
