Abstract

A language is described that was implemented on a PDP-11 computer for writing system-level code for the PDP-11 family of minicomputers. The Little Implementation Language LIL offers a number of features that facilitate writing structured, high-level code with no sacrifice in efficiency over assembly language. The discussion ends with a harsh evaluation of its future usefulness.
