Abstract
The purpose of time-sharing is twofold: to increase the efficiency of the computer system and, while attaining this increase, to permit efficient communication between a programmer and his programs. This communication we may call conversation. Prevailing programming languages like FORTRAN, PL/1, ALGOL, COBOL, etc., are poorly designed for such interactive programming. However, languages like JOSS [1], APL [2], and the to be described LC2 are much more suited to this task.
