ABC
I am compiling an ABC of programming language names and am stuck for
names beginning Q, U, W, X, Y and Z (would like another N too).
Please mail me any you can think of.
Requirements: must be a language that is in use at more than one
site by more than just the original design team.
Must not be a small variant of another language.
eg. Algol60 and Algol68 are 2 distinct languages
but Algol68C is a variant of Algol68
Must be a "full" language capable of general computing tasks and
not (say) a DB query language or a report generator.
(ok I know these are all matters of judgement!)
Please include a reference to a defining paper, report or book if possible.
XYZ
[Try Neliac, Q'nial, the Y language from Arizona, and Zetalisp. Please send
responses to the poster; I'm not inclined to post followups to this. -John]
