L2 was a high-level assembler released September 1955 which was developed by Richard Hamming and Ruth A. Weiss. It was widely used within the Bell Labs, and also by external users, who knew it as Bell 2. It was superseded by Fortran when the Bell Labs' IBM 650 were replaced by the IBM 704 in 1957.[1]
