The application of programming language techniques to the design and development of microprogramming languages
Ashok K. Agrawala, Tomlinson G. Rauscher · 1973
Conceptually microprogramming is similar to traditional programming, but the development of microprogramming languages has lagged far behind the development of programming languages. This paper identifies the problems characterizing the present state of microprogramming languages and shows how some programming language techniques may be used to solve them.
