of Karlsruhe University and Michael Stoll of Munich University,

running in CLISP include PCL and, on Unix machines, CLX. A
native subset of CLOS is included.

Description:
|
CMU Common Lisp is public domain "industrial strength" Common
Lisp programming environment. Many of the X3j13 changes have
been incorporated into CMU CL. Wherever possible, this has
been done so as to transparently allow use of either CLtL1 or
proposed ANSI CL. Probably the new features most interesting
to users are SETF functions, LOOP and the
WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT macro.
- The new CMU CL compiler (Python) is more sophisticated
thatn other Common Lisp compilers. It produces better code
and is easier to use.
- The programming environment based on the Hemlock editor
is better integrated than gnu-emacs based environments.
|

-
Conformance:

mostly X3J13 compatible.

Description:
|
Glish is a language, interpreter, and class library for building
loosely-coupled distributed systems. Glish implements a "software
bus" to which processes are connected and controlled by the Glish
scripting language. The Glish C++ library provides all of the tools
necessary for processes to connect to the software bus and exchange
structured binary data.
The Glish scripting language is a powerful vector oriented
programming language which also has constructs for handling and
directing all of the asynchronous events flowing on the software bus.
In addition, the basic Tk widgets have been bound to Glish. This
allows the event flow on the bus and the event flow from user
interaction to all be handle and controlled by the same script.
Glish was originally developed by Vern Paxson and Chris Saltmarsh as
part of the Superconducting Super Collider project. However since the
release 2.5 at the end of 1994, Darrell Schiebel has continued Glish
development at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory
(http://www.nrao.edu/). At the NRAO, Glish is a cornerstone of the
AIPS++ project.

Description:

Hyperlisp is a real-time MIDI programming environment
embedded in Macintosh Common Lisp. The environment
was developed specifically for the Hyperinstruments project
at the MIT Media Laboratory, and is optimized for interactive
systems which require fast response times. Hyperlisp
provides two main services for the music programmer:
routines for MIDI processing and primitives for scheduling
the application of functions. Programs written in Macintosh
Common Lisp can use these services for a wide variety of
real-time MIDI applications.

perl).

Description:
|
Perl5 is a major rewrite and enhancement to perl4. It adds
real data structures (by way of "references"), un-adorned
subroutine calls, and method inheritance. It is repackaged
with many extensions that can be dynamically loaded in the
interpreter at runtime.
|
|---|
-
Features:
|
- very-high semantic density becuase of powerful operators
like regular expression substitution
- no arbitrary limits
- exceptions
- variables can be tied to arbitrary code (like dbm)
- direct access to almost all system calls
- can access binary data
- many powerful idioms for common tasks
- 8-bit clean, including nulls
- dynamic loading of extensions
- constructors, destructors, multiple inheritence, and
operator overloading
- support for writing secure systems
- many useful libraries and extensions

Description:
|
Python is a simple, yet powerful programming language
that bridges the gap between C and shell programming,
and is thus ideally suited for rapid prototyping. Its
syntax is put together from constructs borrowed from a
variety of other languages; most prominent are
influences from ABC, C, Modula-3 and Icon. Python is
object oriented and is suitable for fairly large programs.

Description:
|
Q is a very high-level programming language, and a test-bed for
programming language ideas. Where APL uses arrays to explicit
looping, Q uses generalized sequences (finite or infinite,
stored or calculated on demand). It has lexical scoping, and
some support for logical and constraint programming. The
syntax was designed for convenient interactive use. A macro
facility together with primitives to run programs is used to
make an interactive command language with full shell features.
The Q system is written in C++, and its run-time code may be
useful to people implementing other languages.

Description:
|
REXX for Unix. A general-purpose programming language
designed by Mike Cowlishaw of IBM UK for readability and
ease of use. Also useful as a control language for Unix
or for applications which make use of REXX's programming
interface (REXX/imc may be compiled as a dynamic C library
for applications to include on some systems). REXX is an
official scripting language of VM/CMS, OS/2 and AmigaDOS.
|
|---|
-
Conformance:
|
REXX language level 4.00 (more or less), with some small
extensions. The C programming interface is a subset of
the SAA interface exhibited by OS/2 REXX.

and many of the useful Unix commands such as xargs, grep,
find, etc. are provided.
