- Well it took a whole 5 days for the first one to come, which isn't
- bad I suppose :-)
-
- I guess I'm gonna have to put this in as the 0th item in the faq
- (I've already got 4 others).
-
- Here's the comp.lang.pop charter:
-
- The group would serve for discussions on the programming language
- Pop11, and related environments, libraries, languages and the Plug
- User Group.
-
- Relevant topics, in this group, would cover all aspects of Pop11
- programming (from novice questions to expert efficiency issues) and
- the current BSI standards effort (Pop9x), and how it relates to
- other languages of this type (e.g. GLOW, Pepper).
-
- Also relevant would be conversations about the Poplog programming
- environment and its libraries. Eg.
-
- OOP in Pop11 Flavours, or objectclass etc. and how they relate to
- other OOP languages (C++, CLOS etc.)
- X windows hacking in Pop11
- Mixed language programming (eg. between Lisp/Pop11/Prolog/ML/C etc.)
- that is supported in Poplog but isn't relevant for discussion in
- other, pure language, groups
- Techniques for Artificial Intelligence programming (it is an AI
- language after all :)
-
- and so on.
-
- The group would be gatewayed, at Univ. of Sussex, onto the mailing
- list for the industrial members with no internet access.
