Action! (programming language)

Action! is a procedural programming language and integrated development environment written by Clinton Parker for the Atari 8-bit computers. The language, similar to ALGOL, maps cleanly to the MOS Technology 6502 of the Atari computer without complex compiler optimizations. Fast execution speed of the resulting programs was a key selling point.
