Pop-11 is multi-paradigm, extendable programming language roughly
similar in power to Common Lisp, but with some strong stylistic
differences. Both were primarily developed to support research (and
teaching) in Artificial Intelligence, but have much wider
applications.

You can learn about Pop-11 here:
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/primer/index.html

(or fetch the tar file and unpack it for local browsing:
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/pophtmlprimer.tar.gz
        (about 400 kbytes)

Pop-11 is the core language of Poplog, a free, open source,
multi-language software development environment, described here
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/poplog.info.html

Poplog can be fetched in various forms here

There is a mirror site containing additional Pop-11 and Poplog
materia, here
