Line 1: {{language \|site=http://www.snobol4.org/}} \|gc=yes}} SNOBOL4 (StriNg Oriented and symBOlic Language) is a language for text processing, pattern matching, and much more, first designed and implemented at [[Bell Labs\|Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.]] (BTL) in the 1970's. SNOBOL4, while known primarily as a string language excels at any task involving symbolic manipulations. It provides run time typing, garbage collection, user data types, on the fly compilation. Its primary weaknesses are its simple syntax and lack of "structured programming" and "object oriented" constructs. ~~involving symbolic manipulations.
