bondage-and-discipline language: n. A language (such as Pascal, Ada, APL, or
Prolog) that, though ostensibly general-purpose, is designed so as to
enforce an author's theory of ‘right programming’ even though
said theory is demonstrably inadequate for systems hacking or even vanilla
general-purpose programming. Often abbreviated ‘B&D’;
thus, one may speak of things “having the B&D nature”.
See Pascal; oppose languages of
choice.
