  MDL 
 
  (Originally  "Muddle").  C.  Reeve,  {Carl  Hewitt}  and  {Gerald 
  Sussman},  Dynamic  Modeling  Group  MIT  ca  1971.  Intended  as  a 
  successor  to  Lisp,  and  a  possible  base  for  Planner-70. 
  Basically  LISP  1.5  with  data  types  and  arrays.  Many  of  its 
  features  were  advanced  at  the  time  (I/O,  interrupt  handling 
  and  coroutining),  and  were  incorporated  into  later  LISP 
  dialects  ("optional",  rest"  and  aux"  markers).  In  the  mid 
  80's  there  was  an  effort  to  use  bytecoding  to  make  the 
  language  portable.  CLU  was  first  implemented  in  MDL.  Infocom 
  wrote  Zork  in  MDL,  and  used  it  as  the  basis  for  the  ZIL 
  interpreter. 
 
  Implementations  exist  for  ITS  {TOPS-20},  BSD  4.3,  Apollo 
  Domain,  SunOS  and  A/UX.
