GitHub - hebisch/poplog (original) (raw)

POPLOG is a free, open source, multi-language software development environment providing incremental compilers for a number of interactive programming languages, notably:

• Pop-11 The core language of Poplog, including a rich interface to the X window system and a powerful Object Oriented programming extension, Objectclass, developed by Steve Leach now a standard part of the language (comparable to CLOS as an extension of LISP).
• Prolog Standard prolog with the "Edinburgh" syntax.
• Common Lisp Compatible with most of CLTL2 (Common Lisp the language, 2nd Edition) by G.L. Steele
• Standard ML A powerful, strongly typed, polymorphic, functional language.

Poplog provides support for multi-paradigm software development in a rapid prototyping environment, because of the use of (fast) incremental compilers for all the languages. There is substantial AI and teaching material using Poplog, some included in this repository, some in separate packages repository, some available on the net.

This is cleaned up version of Poplog sources, currently only core part. It misses binary needed for bootstrap and extensions (packages). Packages are in separate repository:

You can find bootstrap binaries at:

There is buildable tarball for Intel/AMD 64-bit Linux at
