 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for bondage-and-discipline language - Next: bonk/oif, Prev: bomb |
| :bondage-and-discipline language: /n./ A language (such as [[Pascal]], [[Ada]], APL, or Prolog) that, though ostensibly general-purpose, is designed so as to enforce an authors theory of right programming even though said theory is demonstrably inadequate for systems hacking or even vanilla general-purpose programming. Often abbreviated B&D; thus, one may speak of things "having the B&D nature". See [[Pascal]]; oppose languages of choice. | |
