I wrote the version of CESIL that Paul used and will contribute to these pages in due course after learning a bit more about protocol and formatting.

I have not found a compiler.
If someone has one, please let us know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Splang (talk • contribs)

What does "It is rather difficult to define it as high or low level" mean? --Fang Aili 19:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-03-12T19:07:00.000Z","author":"Fang Aili","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Fang_Aili-2006-03-12T19:07:00.000Z-Context_please","replies":["c-Ace_of_Risk-2006-12-12T21:38:00.000Z-Fang_Aili-2006-03-12T19:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"F"}}-->

The accumulator based nature and limited instructions really place it as low level, though the print insructions for numbers and text are clearly not low level. Functionally, it is on a level with assembler (actually weaker than most assemblers), with a couple of subroutines and macros to do the printing.

Cesil or CESIL ?

What was the name of the standard book we all used for it?

I can't help with the standard book, but the Reference Card is currently online at http://iclces.uk/articles/icl_cesil_basic_reference_card.html if that helps.

I was taught Cesil in the UK in the 1970s as part of a new O-level curriculum on computer science for teenagers. It's not that obscure of a language as tens of thousands of kids were taught programming via this language.
