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.

how to get: fto rl/* from flash.bellcore.com
author: Kent Wittenburg <kentw@bellcore.com>
description: The RL files contain code for defining Relational
Grammars and using them in a bottom-up parser to
recognize and/or parse expressions in Relational
Languages. The approach is a simplification of that
described in Wittenburg, Weitzman, and Talley (1991),
Unification-Based Grammars and Tabular Parsing for
Graphical Languages, Journal of Visual Languages and
Computing 2:347-370.
This code is designed to support the definition and
parsing of Relational Languages, which are
characterized as sets of objects standing in
user-defined relations. Correctness and completeness
is independent of the order in which the input is given
to the parser. Data to be parsed can be in many forms
as long as an interface is supported for queries and
predicates for the relations used in grammar
productions. To date, this software has been used to
parse recursive pen-based input such as math
expressions and flowcharts; to check for data integrity
and design conformance in databases; to automatically
generate constraints in drag-and-drop style graphical
interfaces; and to generate graphical displays by
parsing relational data and generating output code.

how to get: ftp pub/ssl.tar.Z from neat.cs.toronto.edu
description: A better characterization is that S/SL is a language
explicitly designed for making efficient recusive-descent
parsers. Unlike most other languages, practicially the
LEAST expensive thing you can do in S/SL is recur. A
small language that defines input/output/error token
names (& values), semantic operations (which are really
escapes to a programming language but allow good
abstration in the pseudo-code), and a pseudo-code
program that defines a grammar by the token stream the
program accepts. Alternation, control flow, and
1-symbol lookahead constructs are part of the
language. What I call an S/SL "implementation", is a
program that compiles this S/SL pseudo-code into a
table (think byte-codes) that is interpreted by the
S/SL table-walker (interpreter). I think the pseudo-code
language is LR(1), and that the semantic mechanisms turn it
into LR(N) relatively easily.

description: Sather is a new object-oriented computer language
developed at the International Computer Science
Institute. It is derived from Eiffel and attempts to
retain much of that language's theoretical cleanliness
and simplicity while achieving the efficiency of C++.
It has clean and simple syntax, parameterized classes,
object-oriented dispatch, multiple inheritance, strong
typing, and garbage collection. The compiler generates
efficient and portable C code which is easily
integrated with existing code.
package: A variety of development tools including a debugger and browser
based on gdb and a GNU Emacs development environment
have also been developed. There is also a class library
with several hundred classes that implement a variety
of basic data structures and numerical, geometric,
connectionist, statistical, and graphical abstractions.
We would like to encourage contributions to the library
and hope to build a large collection of efficient,
well-written, well-tested classes in a variety of areas
of computer science.

it to be superior to the other proposed low-level

yourself. We have accomplished this by "lowering the
level" of the high-level system slightly, making
pattern variables ordinary identifiers with essentially
the same status as lexical variable names and macro
keywords, and by making "syntax" recognize and handle
references to pattern variables.

description: I am looking for a few interested language hackers to play with
and comment on a scheme interpreter. I would prefer those who
have been hacking portable [non-scheme] interpreters for many
years. The interpreter is PSI, a portable scheme interpreter
that includes a simple dag compiler and a virtual machine. It
can be used as an integrated extension interpreter in other
systems, allows for easy addition of new primitives, and it
embodies some other interesting ideas. There are some unique[2]
code debug/trace facilities, as well, acceptable performance
resulting from a fairly straight-forward implementation.
Continuations are fully and portably supported, and perform
well. PSI is based on the simple compilers/vm in Kent
Dbyvig's thesis.

The Self Group at Sun Microsystems Laboratories,
Inc., and Stanford University is pleased to announce
Release 2.0 of the experimental object-oriented
exploratory programming language Self.
Release 2.0 introduces full source-level debugging
of optimized code, adaptive optimization to shorten
compile pauses, lightweight threads within Self,
support for dynamically linking foreign functions,
changing programs within Self, and the ability to
run the experimental Self graphical browser under
OpenWindows.
Designed for expressive power and malleability,
Self combines a pure, prototype-based object model
with uniform access to state and behavior. Unlike
other languages, Self allows objects to inherit
state and to change their patterns of inheritance
dynamically. Self's customizing compiler can generate
very efficient code compared to other dynamically-typed
object-oriented languages.

description: SGML is a markup language standardized in ISO 8879.
Sgmls is an SGML parser derived from the ARCSGML
parser materials which were written by Charles
Goldfarb. It outputs a simple, easily parsed, line
oriented, ASCII representation of an SGML document's
Element Structure Information Set (see pp 588-593
of ``The SGML Handbook''). It is intended to be
used as the front end for structure-controlled SGML
applications. SGML is an important move in the
direction of separating information from its
presentation, i.e. making different presentations
possible for the same information.

Cim is a Simula compiler whose portability is based on
the C programming language. The compiler and the
run-time system is written in C, and the compiler
produces C-code, that is passed to a C-compiler for
further processing towards machine code.
