Fame at last

Yesterday's edition of "University Challenge" on BBC1 featured the question:
What three letters denote the high-level programming language for which the Canadian Kenneth Iverson received the Turing Award in 1979?
Unfortunately the Keble, Cambridge team hadn't a clue. Their captain suggested "ABC" which was at least 33% correct.
