- description: CLiP does not use explicite commands to perform the extraction
- process. It recognizes pseudostatemens written as comment of
- the programming language in question. CLiP distinguishes
- pseudostatments from ordinary comments because the former
- comply with a a particular style. This specific style can be
- adjusted to suit virtually any programming language. The CLiP
- approach to LP makes the system extremely versatile. It is
- independent of programming language and text processing
- environment. We designed CLiP to be compatible with hypertext
- systems as well but we have not yet experimented with this form
- of documentation.
- CLiP works with almost any target and almost any source language

- description: PROGRES is an integrated environment for a very high level
- programming language which has a formally defined semantics
- based on "PROgrammed Graph Rewriting Systems". This language
- supports the following programming paradigms/purposes: 1)
- Structurally object-oriented specification of attributed graph
- structures with multiple inheritance hierarchies and types of
- types (for parametric polymorphy). 2) Declarative/relational
- specification of derived attributes, node sets, binary
- relationships (directed edges), and Boolean constraints. 3)
- Rule-oriented/visual specification of parameterized graph
- rewrite rules with complex application conditions. 4)
- Nondeterministic & imperative programming of composite graph
- transformations (with built-in backtracking and cancelling
- arbitrary sequences of failing graph modifications).
- Therefore, PROGRES may be used as 1) a very high level
- programming language for implementing abstract data types with
- a graph-like internal structure, 2) a visual database
- programming language for the graph-oriented database system
- GRAS (which is available as free software under the GNU license
- conditions), 3) a rule-oriented language for rapid prototyping
- nondeterministically specified data/rule base transformations.
- Furthermore, PROGRES is an almost statically typed language
- which additionally offers "down casting" operators for runtime
- checked type casting/conversion (in order to avoid severe
- restrictions concerning the language's expressiveness).
- PROGRESS is meant to be used with GRAS, which is also available

- description: INTERCAL is possibly the most elaborate and long-lived joke
- in the history of programming languages. It was first designed
- by Don Woods and Jim Lyons in 1972 as a deliberate attempt
- to produce a language as unlike any existing one as possible.
- The manual, describing features of horrifying uniqueness,
- became an underground classic. ESR wrote C-INTERCAL in 1990
- as a break from editing _The_New_Hacker's_Dictionary_, adding
- to it the first implementation of COME FROM under its own name.
- The compiler has since been maintained and extended by an
- international community of technomasochists. The distribution
- includes extensive documentation and a program library.
- C-INTERCAL is actually an INTERCAL-to-C source translator which
- then calls the local C compiler to generate a binary. The code
- is thus quite portable.
