What language is this written in?

1970's was MDL (a lisp dialect of sorts), later versions used a specialised subset:

    In 1980 Marc Blank and Joel Berez adapted the MDL language to create a subset called ZIL (Zork Implementation Language) which was used extensively by Infocom to create their award winning games.
