Pop-11 Primer (2nd ed.)

Appeared in Volume 9/4, November 1996

Keywords: pop.

Pop-11 is an incrementally compiled Lisp-like language (including a CLOS-like object oriented extension), but the syntax is more in the style of Pascal. Pop-11 is the core of Poplog, a language with features from Prolog, Common Lisp and Standard ML. Poplog is supported by many machines, and was recently ported to Linux. There is a free version of Linux Poplog available at:
ftp://ftp.cogs.susx.ac.uk/pub/poplog/poplog15.0
