bondage-and-discipline language
bondage-and-discipline language
A language (such as Pascal, Ada, APL, or Prolog) that,
though ostensibly general-purpose, is designed so as to
enforce an author's theory of "right programming" even though
said theory is demonstrably inadequate for systems hacking or
even vanilla general-purpose programming. Often abbreviated
"B&D"; thus, one may speak of things "having the B&D nature".
See Pascal. Compare languages of choice.
