Lynx (Programming Language)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lynx is a programming language for large distributed networks, using remote procedure calls. It was developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984 for the Charlotte multicomputer operating system. In 1986 at the University of Rochester Lynx was ported to the Chrysalis operating system running on a BBN Butterfly multiprocessor. A programming language is an artificial language designed to express computations that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine, to express algorithms precisely, or as a mode of human communication.
