- While we're on the subject of the history of Pop languages, I'd like
- to say that, in my humble opinion, it was a mistake to call Poplog's
- Pop, Pop-11; for if a different company produces a programming
- system with a language called Pop-12, there is a great danger that
- potential clients will tend to assume that it's better because it is
- apparently newer.
-
- Oh well, what's done is done.
