Formulating On-Line Calculations in Algebraic Language, aka Formulating On-Line Calculations in Algebraic Language, is a programming language created in 1968. FOCAL is an interpreted programming language resembling JOSS. The name is an acronym for Formulating On-Line Calculations in Algebraic Language. Largely the creation of Richard Merrill, FOCAL was initially written for and had its largest impact on the Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC's) PDP-8 computers. Read more on Wikipedia...
