Talk:CESIL

Compiler

I wrote the version of CESIL that Paul used and will contribute to these pages in due course after learning a bit more about protocol and formatting. Tony --Yapton (talk) 11:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I have not found a compiler.
If someone has one, please let us know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Splang (talk • contribs)

Context please

What does "It is rather difficult to define it as high or low level" mean? --Fang Aili 19:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

The accumulator based nature and limited instructions really place it as low level, though the print insructions for numbers and text are clearly not low level. Functionally, it is on a level with assembler (actually weaker than most assemblers), with a couple of subroutines and macros to do the printing. Ace of Risk 21:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Case of the name

Cesil or CESIL ?

Books

What was the name of the standard book we all used for it?

I can't help with the standard book, but the Reference Card is currently online at http://iclces.uk/articles/icl_cesil_basic_reference_card.html if that helps. WyrmUK 13:33, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

UK HIgh School Teaching

I was taught Cesil in the UK in the 1970s as part of a new O-level curriculum on computer science for teenagers. It's not that obscure of a language as tens of thousands of kids were taught programming via this language. Rhodydog (talk) 20:20, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
