JOSS (JOHNNIAC Open Shop System) was a programming language originally developed in the 1960s at RAND for use on the JOHNNIAC computer. It was designed to be used in timesharing mode on a multi-user mainframe. A later dialect, JOSSTRAN, was designed for use in creating FORTRAN programs. In the 1970s, APF used JOSS as the programming language for the PeCos One computer, their first attempt at building a personal computer, in place of the more common BASIC; this was not well-received, and the later APF Imagination Machine used a version of BASIC instead.
