Atlas Autocode
<language> The Autocode for the Ferranti Atlas, which may have been the
first commercial computer with hardware-paged virtual memory. Whereas other
autocodes were basically assembly languages, Atlas Autocode was high-level and
block-structured, resembling a cross between Fortran and ALGOL 60. It had
call-by value, loops, declarations, complex numbers, pointers, heap and stack
storage generators, dynamic arrays, and extensible syntax.
