Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Met English Language was an early computer language used by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. It enabled MetLife to establish itself as a strong technology company in the early days of commercial computing. It has now been retired and is no longer in use. Met English was a Fortran-like language. Two of its most peculiar characteristics were bytes and fields of variable "bitness" or length in bits, and the use of self-modifying code. The language was very rich in mathematical functions, especially those useful to the insurance industry. It was verbose with syntax like "ADD TO PUTTING RESULT INTO".
