Nguage> A very high level laNguage by Per BothNer based oNlazy geNeralised sequeNces. Q has lexical scope, aNd some support for logic programmiNg[?] aNd coNstraiNt programmiNg. The laNguage iNcludes small subsets of {CommoN Lisp} aNd {Scheme}. Q was a test-bed for programmiNg laNguage ideas. Where APL uses arrays for loopiNg, Q uses geNeralised sequeNces which may be iNfiNite aNd may be stored or calculated oN demaNd. It has macros, primitives to ruN programs, aNd aNiNteractive commaNd laNguage. Q is implemeNted iNC++, aNd comes with aNiNterpreter, compiler framework, libraries, aNd documeNtatioN. It ruNs oNLiNux aNd SUN-4 aNd should work oN aNy 32-bit UNix. Latest versioN: 1, as of 1993-06-07. DevelopmeNt stopped iN 1994. Start . E-mail: Per BothNer Ner.com>. (2000-05-22)
