A language designed specifically to model and simulate the behavior of real-world systems over time. Belongs here: Simula, the atlas's sole simulation-language entity and historically also the first object-oriented language, a dual character noted on its own entity page rather than resolved by placing it in two subcategories. Does not belong here: a general-purpose object-oriented language, filed under Object-Oriented Language.
