Mary is a programming language designed and implemented by Mark Rain[1] at RUNIT in Trondheim, Norway during the 1970s.
[2] An unusual feature of its syntax was that expressions were constructed using the conventional infix operators, but all of them had the same precedence and evaluation went from left to right unless there were brackets.
RUNIT implemented a CHILL compiler written in Mary which ran on ND-100 and had Intel 8086 and 80286 targets.
When this compiler was ported to the VAX platform, a common backend for Mary and CHILL was implemented.
