COMIT

COMIT was the first string processing language, developed on the IBM 700/7000 series computers by Victor Yngve, University of Chicago, and collaborators at MIT from 1957 to 1965. Yngve created the language for supporting computerized research in the field of linguistics, and more specifically, the area of machine translation for natural language processing. The creation of COMIT led to the creation of SNOBOL, which stand out apart from other programming languages of the era for having patterns as first class data type. Wikipedia
