'''DASL''' ('''[[Datapoint]]'s Advanced Systems Language''') (pronounced [[Help:IPA/English|/ˈdæz.əl/]], or "dazzle") was a [[programming language]] and [[compiler]] proprietary to Datapoint, previously known as BABEL, before a trademark conflict was discovered. Primarily influenced by [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]] with some [[C (programming language)|C]] touches, it was created in the early 1980s by Gene Hughes.<br />
<br />
The compiler output was [[assembly language]], which was typically processed through a [[Peephole optimization|peep-hole optimizer]] before the [[assembly language#Assembler|assembler]] and [[linker (computing)|linker]].<br />
<br />
Reflecting its name, DASL was used for [[systems programming]], mainly by the vendor itself.<br />
