Computer: Language: ABC: What is the ABC computer language?

---

The ABC computer language was created by

 Lambert Meertens

 Leo Geurts

 Steven Pemberton

in 1987

while working at CWI.

---

The CWI (=Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica), founded in 1946, is
the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in
the Netherlands.

---

The ABC computer language is an interpreted procedural language 
designed
to be a higher-level replacement for BASIC.

---

It was one of the predecessors to the Python computer language (the
creator of Python, Guido van Rossum works also on the CWI).
