Editing Datapoint's Advanced Systems Language

{{unref |date=April 2024}}
'''DASL''' ('''[[Datapoint]]'s Advanced Systems Language''') was a [[programming language]] and [[compiler]] proprietary to Datapoint.  Primarily influenced by [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]] with some [[C (programming language)|C]] touches, it was created in the early 1980s by Gene Hughes.

The compiler output was [[assembly language]], which was typically processed through a peep-hole optimizer before the [[assembly language#Assembler|assembler]] and [[linker (computing)|linker]].

Reflecting its name, DASL was used for [[systems programming]], mainly by the vendor itself.
