              Well, CodeFrog might know one (cryptic reference there). There's another one that lives in the continuum. I believe that Spec# and Haskell also have it.

                  HP BASIC[^] ;P I wrote a lot of programs with that old language, using the 21xxMX minicomputers and 98xx series desktop calculators; surprised it's still around!

                    I've used that a lot, back then, on 9xxx tabletops, before PC's got invented; it was great for automating lab equipment and the like. However I forgot there was an otherwise in the language. :)

                      And since your post got me off on a tangent, I did a search for the HP9825 desktop computer and found this[^] gem. It's an excellent read about the origins of HP and their innovative approach to computer design, culminating in the 98xx series. Interesting to see how many famous names went through their house... What was even more interesting was that the article never mentions another HP first - the trackball. The 9845 came with one, and a built in program that would solve and graph a polynomial. The trackball allowed the user to select and continuously vary the value of a variable so that the change was immediately displayed on the graph. I used it to model analog filter equations to get the exact shape I wanted, then used the coefficients displayed on the screen to reverse engineer the circuit values I needed. :-D

                        I used HP9835 most of the time, together with a bunch of measuring instruments, including some Network Analyzers. Goal was extracting transistor model parameters from S-parameter measurements. Lots of math and programming involved. Did all this at the university in Leuven, Belgium in the seventies; and I got the opportunity to duplicate the setup at Stanford University, Palo Alto (next door to HP) during my first visit to the US. It were exiting times. :)

                            Right. Another one I wasn't aware of, as my Pascal experience is limited and old, from before 1990, the birth of extended Pascals. :)

                              It were, indeed! Exciting, too! ;P Yeah, my main use for the minis and the 98 series was controlling automated tests for missile guidance electronics, but when your office is next to a building full of the darned things, it just doesn't make sense to let them go to waste. So I played a lot... I rather miss have access to a few hundred million$ worth of HP and Tektronix hardware at my disposal. :-D

                                I thought I remembered Pascal having that keyword, but I haven't used it since Turbo Pascal 5.5 introduced those newfangled object thingies. I think PAL (Paradox Application Language) from Borland may have used it, too.
