An ABC Programming Language is a high-level programming language that influenced the design of Python Programming Language.
- AKA: ABC Language, ABC, ABC Interactive Programming Language.
- Context:
- It can typically emphasize Programming Language Readability through structured syntax and clear semantics.
- It can typically support Interactive Programming via incremental development and immediate feedback.
- It can typically provide High-Level Data Structures including unbounded arrays and associative tables.
- It can typically enforce Structured Programming through indentation-based syntax and block structures.
- It can often hide Implementation Complexity from novice programmers via automatic memory management.
- It can often limit System Programming Capability due to abstraction levels and platform independence.
- It can often influence Language Design Decisions in successor languages like Python Programming Language.
- It can range from being an Educational ABC Usage to being a Research ABC Usage, depending on its application context.
- It can range from being a Pure ABC Implementation to being an Extended ABC Implementation, depending on its feature set.
- It can range from being a Historical ABC Reference to being a Modern ABC Study, depending on its temporal context.
- It can range from being a Successful ABC Feature to being a Limiting ABC Feature, depending on its design outcome.

- Example(s):
- ABC Language Features, such as:
- ABC Indentation Syntax that inspired Python indentation.
- ABC Data Types including ABC tables and ABC lists.
- ABC Commands for text processing and data manipulation.
- ABC Development Environment, such as:
- ABC Influences, such as:
- Python Programming Language adopted ABC's readability focus.
- Python Syntax inherited ABC's indentation-based structure.
- Guido van Rossum learned from ABC's design limitations.
- ...
- ABC Language Features, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- C Programming Language, which emphasizes low-level control over readability.
- Perl Programming Language, which prioritizes flexibility over simplicity.
- Assembly Language, which provides hardware access ABC avoided.
