n. A language (such as Pascal , Ada, APL, or Prolog) that, though ostensibly
general-purpose, is designed so as to enforce an author's 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.
