Abstract ======== -The Muddle programming language began existence in late 1970 (under -the name Muddle) as a successor to Lisp (Moon, 1974), a candidate -vehicle for the Dynamic Modeling System, and a possible base for -implementation of Planner (Hewitt, 1969). The original design goals -included an interactive integrated environment for programming, -debugging, loading, and editing: ease in learning and use; facilities -for structured, modular, shared programs; extensibility of syntax, -data types and operators: data-type checking for debugging and -optional data-type declarations for compiled efficiency; associative -storage, coroutining, and graphics. Along the way to reaching those -goals, it developed flexible input/output (including the ARPA -Network), and flexible interrupt and signal handling.
