| | Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. | | | The development of programming languages, unsurprisingly, follows closely the development of the physical and electronic processes used in today's computers. | | | Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan developed the C programming language, initially for DEC PDP-11 in 1970. |

| | PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The concepts of the PostScript language were seeded in 1976 when John Warnock was working at Evans and Sutherland, a famous computer graphics company. | | | Typically, PostScript programs are not produced by humans, but by other programs. | | | Prior to the introduction of PostScript, printers were designed to print character output given the text—typically in ASCII—as input. |

| | PostScript: a computer language |
| | The fact that it is a computer language means that it has its own vocabulary and grammar that are used to create a list of instructions that tell a computer system what to do. | | | As with all computer languages, the slightest deviation from the well defined conventions of the language results in an error message and a computer system that refuses to do anything at all. | | | PostScript is a high-end programming language, which means that even mere humans can still look at the instructions and understand what they mean. |

| | PostScript is a programming language |
| | A postscript program is a sequence of objects. | | | Postscript is very similar to the Forth programming language and is in the class of languages like SmallTalk and LISP that use programming language constructs to extend the language. | | | But, since programs are just data to postscript, operators and procedures are also objects that you can manipulate. |

| | Direct use of the PostScript language |
| | PostScript as a programming language is kin to other sophisticated, modern languages in several features that are often unrecognized because the Adobe manuals describe them quietly by their effects, rather than using the terminology most familiar in the study of programming languages. | | | PostScript is a language with garbage collection, like Java and other modern languages: its composite data types are allocated from a heap of virtual memory, and the programmer does not need to manage returning them to the heap when they are no longer needed. | | | But most programs of that sort produce PostScript code that is functional but awful; to any person at all curious to peek in the file, it looks like an explosion in a punctuation factory, not like any language a sane human would use. |

| | PSFC Report Publishing: Fonts & Electronic Publishing: What is the Postscript Language? |
| | The PostScript computer programming language was originally developed by Adobe Systems to communicate complex graphic printing instructions to digital laser printers. | | | An important characteristic of the PostScript language is that it is device independent. | | | Type 1 fonts are in fact a specialized form of PostScript program and are the normal file format used for type display on all PostScript printers and displays. |
