- IITRAN is a discontinued programming language created in the mid-1960s. It was designed as a first language for students, and its syntax resembled that of PL/I. The name derives from Illinois Institute of Technology, where it was developed. The IITRAN language was initially implemented on an IBM System/360 DOS system. In the early 1970s, the IBM platform proved to be too small for the IIT environment and the hardware was upgraded. A new version was developed for the Univac 1108 platform. The language itself did not change but with the new hardware, a new implementation of the IITran software was developed. IITRAN was designed and developed in response to the increasing demand for a computer language which would meet the following specifications: 1.
* It should be clear, concise, and easily learned, even for those who have had no previous experience with computers or mathematics; 2.
* It should bear as close a resemblance as possible to the English language; 3.
* It should be free of awkward restrictions and limitations; 4.
* It should be consistent with mathematical and logical foundations; 5.
* It should allow processing of a great number of individual programs in a very short time; 6.
* It should serve as a computational tool for students of science and engineering; 7.
* It should process a clear, easily understood, set of diagnostic error messages. (Bauer, p. V) There was a Spanish language version of IITRAN at IIT as well. It utilized Spanish keywords rather than English ones. For example, the keyword read was replaced by leer. (en)
