SNOBOL4
     
        A quite distinct descendant of {SNOBOL}, developed by Griswold
        et al in 1967.  SNOBOL4 is {declarative} with {dynamic scope}.
        Patterns are {first-class} data objects that can be
        constructed by concatenation and alternation.  Success and
        failure are used for {flow control}.  Delayed (unevaluated)
        expressions can be used to implement {recursion}.  It has a
        table data type.  Strings generated at run time can be treated
        as programs and executed.
     
        See also {vanilla}.
