The History of Macro Processors in Programming Language Extensibility

P. J. Layzell *

Department of Computation, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, P.O. Box 88, Manchester, UK

The evolutionary nature of computer programming has necessitated the continual development and enhancement of programming languages. In an effort to make programming languages more responsive to such changes, a number of language extensibility schemes have been designed. This paper examines the history of macro processors as a tool for programming language extensibility.
