- POP is a programming language developed in the 1970s in England.
- It combines an Algol-like syntax (statements separated with semicolons
- inside block structures) with Lisp-like semantics (untyped variables,
- lists as data aggregates, etc). There is also a more recent language
- called POPLOG that lets you mix POP notation with PROLOG.

- The book _New Horizons in Educational Computing_ edited by Masoud Yazdani
- (1984, Ellis Horwood Ltd/John Wiley & Sons) contains several articles
- about POP.
