RTL/2
Real Time Language.
A small real-time language based on ALGOL 68, with separate compilation designed
by J.G.P. Barnes of ICI in 1972 as a successor to RTL/1.
A program is composed of separately compilable modules called "bricks" which may
be datablocks, procedures or stack. A stack is a storage area for use as a
workspace by a task. The language is block-structured and weakly typed. Simple
types are byte, int, frac and real. There are no Booleans. Compound types may be
formed from arrays, records and refs (pointers). There are no user-defined
types. Control statements are if-then-elseif-else-end, for-to-by-do-rep,
block-endblock, switch, goto, and label variables.
