==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. Dreisbach |author2= James L. Felty | author3= Ira Greenberg |publisher = Intermetrics Inc. | issue = A057449}}</ref>. The language was first documented in 1973 by Miller et. al .,<ref name="HOLReport" />, and was revised in 1975 to allow "data abstractions and more powerful extension facilities".<ref name="HOLReport" />.

==Descendants==

* [[Praxis (programming language)]] explicitly refers to CS-4 as a predecessor language .<ref name="PraxisIntro"/>.
