Accent

Accent is a general-purpose, imperative programming language, created in the early 1980s by Dr. Roger C. Baker at the University of Texas at Austin. It was designed to have an easily remembered syntax, to be suitable for both systems programming and applications programming, and to provide high-level language features in a small language. Accent has been used in a wide variety of applications, including operating systems, compilers, network protocols, and user interfaces. It has also been used as a teaching language, both in introductory courses and in more advanced courses in programming languages and compiler design. The Accent programming language is no longer under active development, but it remains in use by a small community of programmers.
