'''XPL0''' is essentially a cross between Pascal and C. It was originally created in 1976
by Peter J. R. Boyle, who designed it to run on a 6502 microcomputermicroprocessor as
an alternative to BASIC, which was the dominant language for personal
computers at the time. XPL0 is based on PL/0, an example compiler in the
book ''Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs'' by Niklaus Wirth. The first
XPL0 compiler was written in ALGOL. This was then used to create a compiler
written in XPL0's syntax.
 
The languageXPL0 has been implemented on overmore than a dozen processors, but is
currently maintained for IBM-type PCs. Free, open-source versions of the
compilers (interpreted, assembly -code compiled, and optimizing) are
available from the official website: xpl0.org [http://www.xpl0.org/]
