Executive Systems Programming Oriented Language
<language> An ALGOL superset with high level instructions for low level
actions, e.g. interrupting another processor on a multiprocessor system. Its
single pass compiler was very fast: over 250 lines/s on a 10MHz processor.
ESPOL was used to write the MCP (Master Control Program) on the Burroughs 6700.
It was superseded by NEWP.
