Line 1: {{language}} FOCAL, (which iseither ~~allegedly short~~stands for ~~"Formulating~~'''Fo'''rmula '''Cal'''culator or '''F'''ormulating On'''O'''n-line ~~Calculations~~'''C'''alculations in ~~Algebraic~~'''A'''lgebraic ~~Language"~~'''L'''anguage), is an imperative, interpreted programming language similar to JOSS. It was first introduced in 1968, and FOCAL-69 was widely used on the PDP-8 minicomputer from Digital Equipment Corporation. Like JOSS and BASIC, FOCAL was not intended to be used for developing large applications; the manual said it was "designed to help scientists, engineers, and students solve numerical problems." The design goals thus emphasize simplicity and accessibility.
