LIS (programming language)

For other uses, see LIS (disambiguation).

LIS (Language d'Implementation de Systèmes) was a system implementation programming language designed by Jean Ichbiah, who later designed Ada.

LIS was based on Pascal and Simula.[1] It was used to implement the compiler for the Ada-0 subset of Ada at Karlsruhe on the BS2000 Siemens operating system.[2] Later on the Karlsruhe Ada compilation system got rewritten in Ada-0 itself, which was easy, because LIS and Ada-0 are very close.

LIS was not used on commercial CII products. LIS was inspired by Pascal and Simula and has contributed to the definition of Ada.
