Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bon was a programming language created by Ken Thompson while he worked on the MULTICS operating system. Bon was named either after Thompson's wife Bonnie or else, after "a religion whose rituals involve the murmuring of magic formulas" (a reference to the Tibetan native religion Bön). A programming language is an artificial language designed to express computations that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine, to express algorithms precisely, or as a mode of human communication.
