Line 115:

To provide even faster compile times, some languages were structured for "[[one-pass compiler]]s" which expect subordinate routines to be defined first, as with [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], where the main routine, or driver function, is the final section of the program listing.

Some notable languages that were developed in this period include:

{{div col}}

* 1967 – [[BCPL]] (forerunner to B)

* 1967 – [[Logo (programming language)|Logo]]

* 1969 – [[B (programming language)|B]] (forerunner to C)

* 1970 – [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]]

* 1970 – [[Forth (programming language)|Forth]]

* 1972 – [[C (programming language)|C]]

* 1972 – [[Smalltalk]]

* 1972 – [[Prolog]]

* 1973 – [[ML (programming language)|ML]]

* 1975 – [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]]

* 1978 – [[SQL]] (a query language, later extended)

{{div col end}}
