JOSS (an acronym for JOHNNIAC Open Shop System) was one of the very first interactive, time sharing programming languages.
JOSS I, developed by J. Clifford Shaw at RAND was first implemented, in beta form, on the JOHNNIAC computer in May 1963. The full implementation was deployed in January 1964, supporting 5 terminals and the final version, JOSS In, supporting 10 terminals, was deployed in January 1965.
JOSS was written in a symbolic assembly la...
