  {both: declare "x" and "y" both to be e.g. integer variables}
  C:     x = y
  Bliss: x = .y

  {both: declare "p" to be a pointer to integer, and "y" to be an integer variable}
  C:     p = &y
  Bliss: p = y     ....note lack of "." before "y"

Chef:

Developed by: Don woods, James M. Lyon

Year: 1972

Chef is a stack-based language where programs look like cooking recipes.

 Hello World Cake with Chocolate sauce.
 
 This prints hello world, while being tastier than Hello World Souffle. The main
 chef makes a " world!" cake, which he puts in the baking dish. When he gets the
 sous chef to make the "Hello" chocolate sauce, it gets put into the baking dish
 and then the whole thing is printed when he refrigerates the sauce. When
 actually cooking, I'm interpreting the chocolate sauce baking dish to be
 separate from the cake one and Liquify to mean either melt or blend depending on
 context.
