  • The FIFTH language

    From Zbig@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 24 10:36:22 2023
    THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #18a: FIFTH

    FIFTH is a precision mathematical language in which the data types
    refer to quantity. The data types range from CC, OUNCE, SHOT, and
    JIGGER to FIFTH (hence the name of the language), LITER, MAGNUM and
    BLOTTO. Commands refer to ingredients such as CHABLIS, CHARDONNAY,
    CABERNET, GIN, VERMOUTH, VODKA, SCOTCH, and WHATEVERSAROUND.

    The many versions of the FIFTH language reflect the sophistication and financial status of its users. Commands in the ELITE dialect include
    VSOP and LAFITE, while commands in the GUTTER dialect include HOOTCH
    and RIPPLE. The latter is a favorite of frustrated FORTH programmers
    who end up using this language.
