There is more than one language that has been called B (e.g.
ABC is one such language), but I don't know of any that once
had an established compiler technology and real commercial use
that have gone away. Please give more details. of course there
are lots of languages generated for the purposes of academic
research (e.g. getting a PhD thesis), that have gone away
(GYVE is one of the more interesting languages in this
category, Phil Shaw : NYU PhD, advisor Jack Schwartz, mid 70's)
