Episode 179 - Programming Block by Block

In which we discuss GPSS: the General Purpose Simulation Language. As for as languages go, this is a unique one. It's designed for certain types of simulations. It's code is just a handy way to feed a flowchart into a computer. It's design is closer to an analog computer than it is to a programming language. Yet GPSS is Turing Complete. Step inside and prepare to be... confused! The big source of the show: https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/960118.808382 - The Development of GPSS Like Advent of Computing?
