|
DOGO is a fictional programming language invented as a joke by John Unger Zussman. It appears in a humorous list of "lesser known languages", published in InfoWorld in 1982 and later posted to Usenet. This is the original text pertaining to DOGO:
DOGO ... Developed at the Massachussettes Institute of Obedi- ence Training. DOGO heralds a new era of computer-literate pets. DOGO commands include SIT, STAY, HEEL and ROLL OVER. An innova- tive feature of DOGO is "PUPPY GRAPHICS", in which a small cocker spaniel occasionally leaves a deposit as he travels across the screen.
Its name and the description of "PUPPY GRAPHICS" are a spoof on Logo.
The other languages in the list are SIMPLE, SLOBOL, VALGOL, LAIDBACK, SARTRE, FIFTH, C- and LITHP.
