Programming language
In
computing
,
CHILL
(an acronym for
CCITT
High Level Language
) is a
procedural
programming language
designed for use in
telecommunication
switches (the hardware used inside telephone exchanges). The language is still used for
legacy systems
in some telecommunication companies and for
signal box
programming.
The CHILL language is similar in size and complexity to the original
Ada
language. The first specification of the CHILL language was published in 1980, a few years before Ada.
ITU
provides a standard CHILL compiler.
A free CHILL compiler was bundled with
GCC
up to version 2.95, however, was removed from later versions. An
object-oriented
version, called Object CHILL, was developed also.

ITU
is responsible for the CHILL standard, known as ITU-T Rec. Z.200. The equivalent
ISO
standard is ISO/IEC 9496:2003. (The text of the two documents is the same). In late 1999 CCITT stopped maintaining the CHILL standard.
CHILL was used in systems of Alcatel System 12 and Siemens
EWSD
, for example.
