It was developed in the early 1970s at [[Intermetrics]] in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]]. The first published manual was released in December 1973, entitled "CS-4 Language Reference Manual and Operating System Interface".<ref name="DTICEntry" /> The document had three parts: CS-4 Base Language Capabilities; CS-4 Operating System Interface; and Overview of Full CS-4 Capabilities.
 
==History==
Little is known about the CS-4 language, but it was developed for the [[United States Navy]] in the 1970s, and was an ongoing research project, which was continuing the study of extensibility and abstraction techniques to develop a requirement of the language to be simple and compact.<ref name="HOLReport">{{cite book | url = http://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a057449.pdf | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160828073419/http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a057449.pdf | url-status = live | archive-date = 28 August 2016 | title = Higher-order Language Technology Evaluation | author = Timothy A.
