bondage-and-discipline language
A language (such as Pascal, Ada, APL, or Prolog) that, though ostensibly
general-purpose, is designed so as to enforce an author's theory of "right
programming" even though said theory is demonstrably inadequate for systems
hacking or even vanilla general-purpose programming. Often abbreviated "B&D";
thus, one may speak of things "having the B&D nature".
See Pascal. Compare languages of choice.
