Line 1: '''MDL''' (the MIT Design Language) is a descendant of the [[Lisp_programming_language\|Lisp]] [[Programming]] language.Its initial purpose was to provide high level language support for the Dynamic Modeling Group at [[Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology\|MIT]]'s [[Project_MAC]]. It was initially developed in 1971 on the [[PDP-10]] computer under the [[Incompatible Timesharing System]] The ~~inital~~initial development team consisted of [[Gerald Sussman]] and [[Carl Hewitt]] of the Artificial Intelligence Lab, and Chris Reeve, Bruce Daniels, and David Cressey of the Dynamic Modeling Group. Later, Stu Galley, also of the Dynamic Modeling Group, wrote the MDL documentation. MDL was initially known as “Muddle”. This style of self-deprecating humor was not widely understood or appreciated outside of Project MAC and a few other early citadels of information technology. So the name was sanitized to MDL.
