Do you remember where you read about "NOT-COBOL"?
Brad nailed it--it's SNAP.
It *is* surprising how many programming languages are called SNAP.
But the 1969 version is the one I remember.
Interesting idea for the time.
It would seem to me that since English (even Basic English) is
imprecise enough that one would have to learn the precise meaning of
any word or term in the subject language and how to construct phrases
and sentences, one might as well learn a *regular* language.
