Artspeak

Artspeak is a computer language conceived by Jacob T. Schwartz at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

In order to program in Artspeak on the CDC 6600, one had to use punch cards and utilize batch processing.

It used simple, English language-based statements to draw elemental shapes, including circles, points, text, and many types of curves (including lines).

In 2011, Ron Schnell (author of Dunnet) found an old draft manual for the language, and after discovering that the language ceased to exist, wrote it from scratch in Python.

There are other differences from the original Artspeak, all of which are detailed in the reference guide.
