Macintosh Programming Languages

README:
"ABC is an imperative language originally designed as a replacement for BASIC: interactive, very easy to learn, but structured, high-level, and easy to use. ABC has been designed iteratively, and the present version is the 4th iteration. The previous versions were called B (not to be confused with the predecessor of C)".

GW-Ada/Ed

MAC NAME:
VERSION:
1.5.1

README:
"GW-Ada/Ed-Mac is a development environment built around the New York University (NYU) AdaEd compiler/interpreter. It allows the editing, compiling, binding and execution of Ada 83 programs. GW-Ada/Ed-Mac was supervised by Prof. Michael B. Feldman. Manuel A. Perez, a GWU doctoral student in Computer Science, is responsible for the Macintosh version, including the editor and developer shell. We are finishing a good user manual; in the meantime, please bear with this sketchy version. We think the system will be fun to use and as easy to work with as most Macintosh programs are."

SmallAda

MAC NAME:
SmallAda

VERSION:
1.0

README:
"This is a compiler/interpreter for a part of the Ada language, namely the "Pascal subset" plus the Ada tasking support. It is not intended ever to be a full Ada compiler, rather a vehicle for teaching, learning, and experimenting with concurrent programming. The compiler is very fast, producing P-code which is then interpreted by the interpreter. The interpreter is sometimes frustratingly slow; we've done no optimization at all yet."

*The Ada programming language was originally christened "DoD-1" by the general press. DoD's High Order Language Working Group (HOLWG), however, never accepted that name, fearing its military overtones might prejudice nonmilitary users against it. In 1979, Jack Cooper of the Navy Materiel Command thought of naming the language "Ada", which was widely accepted by the HOLWG. The name honors Countess Augusta Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and the only legitimate daughter of poet Lord Byron. While in her twenties, she worked with Charles Babbage on his Difference Engine and thus is now considered to be the world's first computer programmer.

README:
APL90: "APL 90 is a new implementation of APL. APL 90 was written in C, between 1982 and 1988, at the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne (France), by Jean-Jacques Girardot, François Mireaux and Sega Sako (with the additional help of a lot of people).....

The Macintosh version can be used on a MacPlus, with or without the switcher. It has also been tested on the Macintosh SE (although we haven't found much speed improvement over the Mac Plus), and on the Mac 2, (where it is real fast), but you may have to customize somewhat your keyboard.

APL 90 is essentially an adaptation of the UNIX programs, and currently reflects little of the possibilities of the Macintosh. It is compiled using Mac C, and parts of APL 90 are copyright Consulair Corporation. Please consider this program as an intermediate product and a demo version."

APL92: "As of May 94, there has been little evolution in APL 90. The important differences with the language described here are : - APL 90 use faceware modules. These are available as shareware on some sites like sumex-aim.stanford.edu. A copy of some portions of Faceware is also available on mars.emse.fr as FACEWARE.SEA.HQX."

MAC NAME:
Fantasm

VERSION:
3.01

README:
"The purpose of Fantasm is to allow you to develop machine code programs for the Apple Macintosh range of computers. You enter the assembly language program in a separate editor, either as one file, or a series of smaller files. These are assembled into a machine code program by Fantasm, which you then test (debug). If the program does not work as you expect, you go back to the editor, modify the program (source code), reassemble and test again until it does work."

>I have a question about the language name:

>(FANTASM = FAst [NT] ASseMbler ? )
>Thank you

The reason is quite simple. We have part of a 3D game called 'Fantasy'.
When we transfered to the mac, we wanted an assembler that would assemble
it. Hence the fantasy-assembler, or fant-asm. Hence Fantasm was born.

What does fantasm mean in greek, then? (Nothing rude one hopes!)

"Every personal computer should have a Basic interpreter; here's one for the PowerMac (and 68K Macs too). Chipmunk Basic is a simple Basic interpreter, accelerated for PowerMacs. It is similar to the line number based MumbleSoft BASIC interpreters of circa 1980. Its roots are from a pascal program, basic.p, that was part of the test input suite to p2c, a pascal to c translator. Both basic.p and p2c should be in the net.sources archives somewhere. I cleaned up the translated source, ported it to the Macintosh, fixed various bugs and added several Mac specific features."

"Coco" stands for compiler compiler. The original version of Coco generated
table driven parsers; Coco/R generates recursive descent parsers. That is
what "R" stands for.

"The pure, lazy functional language Concurrent Clean (version 1.0) defined in this reference manual is a major upgrade of the previous release (0.84b) of Clean (Brus et al., 1987; Nöcker et al., 1991; Plasmeijer & van Eekelen, 1993). Clean was originally designed as an experimental intermediate language and deliberately kept syntactically as poor as possible to be able to focus on the essential language and implementation issues. This strategy enabled us to study new concepts (such as term graph rewriting (Barendregt et al., 1987), lazy copying (van Eekelen et al., 1991), abstract reduction (Nöcker, 1993), uniqueness typing (Barendsen and Smetsers, 1993) without too much implementation effort. The ideas were tested in the Clean compiler which could be used on small machines and produced state-of-the-art code (Smetsers et al., 1991)."

The history is as follows: We designed graph rewriting systems together with our friends in East-Anglia (Sleep, Kennaway, Glauert). We also had a tiny language on top of it, called LEAN (the Language of East-Anglia and Nijmegen, 1987, Parle conference). This language could do general graph rewriting (also useful for imperative languages and logic languages). However, in Nijmegen we want to restrict ourselves to functional languages and term-graph rewriting. So, we designed a "clean" version of LEAN, called CLEAN. Greetings, Rinus

Brent has told me that Marlais is Dylan M. Thomas' middle name, which I
believe, however, this appears to be a little-known fact.  Where did you
discover this Brent?  Marlais is also the name of a small village in
France. I wonder if there is a connection...

I obtained this information from the small, paperback copy of the
American Heritage Dictionary that I keep on my shelf at work. I'm not sure
how Dylan Thomas came to have "Marlais" as his middle name. In any case, it
seemed a suitably obtuse name for a Dylan implementation :-).

# Two more questions:
# 1. The language names Dylan and Thomas are after Thomas M. Dylan (like
Ada and Haskell, after Ada Lovelace and Haskell Curry) ?
# I think that DYLAN = DYNamic LANguage.

You are correct---Dylan comes from DYnamic LANguage.  The names of the
freely available Dylan implementations have developed out of word play
with the word Dylan.

# 2. Who is Thomas M. Dylan ?

Dylan M. Thomas was a well-known Welsh poet.

And unlike the few other prototype-based object-oriented systems (such as Self), Kevo does not feature delegation. Instead of classes and delegation, Kevo is based on concatenation: unrestricted composition of object interfaces. In concatenation, objects are derived from each other simply by cloning (copying) and subsequently modifying them so as to differentiate them from each other. The system automatically maintains information about clone families (groups of similar objects) and their derivation relationships."

Kevo is a placename in Northern Finland. As far as I know the word has no
meaning in modern Finnish. I suspect that it is a word of the Sami language
(the language of indigeneous Lapps)  which is related to the Finnish but
distantly. You might get more information from the University of Helsinki

The reference of the name is related to music in that an instrument with
quality (richness in sound) has timbre.  Timbre is meant to be part of a

The Hope language was originally developed at Edinburgh University in
the early 1980's (and possibly late 70's) and is named for the view from
the Department of Computer Science, which overlooks Hope Square.
I have no idea how Hope Square came by its name!

What is kvikkalkul? It appears to be a sort of teletype based embedded systems language, supposedly designed in Sweden during the 1950's for submarine computer systems.

GLISP

Etymology:
GLisp = Generalized Lisp

MAC NAME:
GLisp

VERSION:
1.2

README:
"Generalized Lisp" (or "Glisp" for short) is a coordinated set of high level syntaxes for Common Lisp. It is "generalized" in the sense that the Lisp programmer has a variety of dialects available, not just Lisp notation. Initially Generalized Lisp consists of three dialects: Mlisp, Plisp and ordinary Lisp, together with an extensible framework for adding others. Mlisp ("Meta-Lisp") is an Algol-like syntax for people who don’t like writing parentheses. Plisp ("Pattern Lisp") is a pattern matching rewrite-rule language. Plisp is a "compiler-compiler"; its rules are optimized for writing language translators. Mlisp and Plisp are documented in separate user manuals. It is expected that the set of dialects will increase over time as users add new ones. All dialects may be freely intermixed in a file. The translators for all dialects are written in Plisp, as is the Glisp translator framework itself. Support routines for the translators are written in Mlisp and/or Lisp. All dialects are translated to Common Lisp and execute in the standard Common Lisp environment."

README:
"PowerLisp 1.1 is the second public release of PowerLisp, a Common Lisp development environment for the Macintosh. It consists of a Common Lisp interpreter, native-code 680x0 compiler, 680x0 macro assembler, disassembler, incremental linker and multi-window text editor. It requires a Macintosh with at least a 68020 processor and system 7.0 or later. About 2 megabytes of RAM are required to run it, and to do much with it you need more like 5 or 6 megabytes. Like any Common Lisp system, the more memory the better."

Yes, Wally Feurzeig named Logo (He's still at bbn.org) with that connection
in mind. (The original LISP version was named "ghost" for no clear reason)
Wally wrote an article about the origins of logo, it was published many
years ago in a book called "digital Deli" -- I'm sure it is well out of
print, but if you need more, maybe you can find it (or email wally)

VERSION:
1.18c

README:
This is the Macintosh port of RLaB 1.18c program. RLaB is a Matlab-like linear algebra package. The author is Ian Searle ians@eskimo.com.

RLaB is an interpreter for the RLaB Programming Language/Environment. The RLaB language is useful for matrix or array oriented numerical analyses. RLaB is especially useful for prototyping and experimenting with algorithms. RLaB extensively uses the LAPACK, FFTPACK and RANLIB sources available from netlib.att.com and PLPLOT from dino.ph.utexas.edu. MacRLaB is not a full port of RLaB. Some items will probably never be fully supported as they are too tied to the Unix operating system. Examples are the 'pipe', the 'fork', the 'socket', and many others. Other features are handled a little differently in the Mac version."

MAC OBERON

MAC NAME:
MacOberon

VERSION:
4.115

README:
Oberon is simultaneously the name of a project and of its outcome. The project was started by Niklaus Wirth and the author[= JÖrg Gutknecht] late in 1985 with the goal of developing a modern and portable operating system for personal workstations. Its results are an implementation of the system for the Ceres computer and a programming language (see section Literature). The development of the language Oberon needs perhaps a short justification. It became quite inevitable because the type-system of available languages turned out to be too restrictive to express the desired data model in a natural and safe way. We refer to report for a definition of the new language, and to the third and fourth chapter of this text for some examples of its application."

MPW-Oberon

MAC NAME:
MPW Oberon

VERSION:
-

README:
"MPW Oberon is a compiler for the Oberon language. The Oberon language was developed by N. Wirth at the ETH Zürich. The compiler is based on the one described in the book "Project Oberon" by N. Wirth and J. Gutknecht (Addison-Wesley). MPW Oberon fully supports the Oberon-2 language which is a superset of Oberon. MPW Oberon is a stand-alone Oberon for the Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop. Use the Oberon language to develop standard Mac applications and code resources. MPW Oberon integrates nicely into the MPW environment, so you may use all your standard development tools. MPW Oberon is able to use external procedures and variables, so mixed-language development is possible." AUTHOR(S) : MPW Oberon was presented at the Joint Modular Languages Conference 1994 in Ulm.

 - What is the etymology of OBERON?
 - (OBERON = OBjEct oRiented prOgramming  laNguage? )

At about the time that Wirth and Gutknecht began their project,
the Voyager space probe transmitted pictures to Earth  of the planet
Uranus and one of its moons, Oberon. Voyager was never expected to last
that long. As a small tribute to such a successful feat of  engineering,
and as an inspiration to himself, Wirth named his  own project after the
Voyager's (then) latest object of investigation. You can find this story
in the introductions to _The Oberon System_ and _Project Oberon_.

Hi Antreas,
the name PARALLAXIS originated when playing with the phrase
"PARALlel LAnguage for parallel architectures", so it almost fit that word.
I have no greek heritage.

MacPari

MAC NAME:
MacPari

VERSION:
1.39

README:
" PARI/GP is a package for efficient computations in number theory, but also contains a large number of mathematical functions unrelated to number theory. It resembles a Computer Algebra System, but is not really one since it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical entities such as polynomials, series, matrices, etc..., not as pure expressions. However it is often faster than other CAS, and contains a huge number of specific functions not found elsewhere, essentially for use in number theory. This new release has many new functions for working in general algebraic number fields. The Macintosh release is a pure port from the Unix versions and contains no specific macintosh interface. The result is less than satisfactory, but is better than preceeding releases, thanks to the new SIOUX interface provided by the Metrowerks CodeWarrior programming system."

Well, this is a bad case of choosing a name without thinking first....

In fact, the original (Cohen, Batut, Olivier) designers thought it would be
written in the Pascal language, and they exchanged jokes about Blaise
Pascal's
bet. Now 'bet' in french is 'pari'...

"A clear and consistent execution model of any programming language can lay the foundations not only for a good learning experience, but also for a smoother design/edit/run/debug cycle. The Transparent Prolog Machine was developed in attempt to construct precisely such a model for the logic programming language Prolog, based upon a notational extension of logic programming’s traditional AND/OR trees."

Proteus

MAC NAME:
Proteus

VERSION:
0.9

README:
"The Proteus interpreter was developed by Lars S. Nyland, while I was a post-doc at UNC in the winter of 91-92. I relied heavily on the ISETL interpreter, changing the grammar to Proteus, adding parallelism and private variables. I must thank Gary Levin (et al) for all the work they did to give me a starting point for Proteus. This version was compiled with Think-C (c) Symantec Screen Editor based on the THINK C Class Library. The interactive line editor was derived from ILE written by Robert C. Pendleton (c) 1988, Evans & Sutherland. This program was developed while the author was a member of the Clarkson faculty, using the Z200 provided by the school. West Publishing has provided a Macintosh for further refinement of the Mac version. West has also provided support for the development of the PC and Mac graphics features. There are many people who have contributed to the ideas behind ISETL. First and foremost is Ed Dubinsky, whose idea it was to use SETL for teaching Discrete Mathematics. His dissatisfaction with the old implementation suggested this project. Others include: Nancy Baxter, Don Muench, and that mysterious bunch that we just call IWEST."

Antreas> I have a question about the language name: Why the greek name
PROTEUS? 

In our limited understanding of Greek history, we found the name to have
connotations that we desired.  Here are some of the words from the
thesaurus that helped us choose it.

***** Word: proteus

Changeableness, mutability, versatility, mobility changeable, changeful;
changing &c. 140; mutable, variable, checkered, ever changing; protean,
proteiform|; versatile. plastic, mobile. Of course, it has other
connotations about instability, but we chose to ignore those.
We were looking for a word that meant "looks like whatever the viewer wants
to see." Our programming language is designed to apply to many different
parallel computers, yet the programmer who is programming the xyz computer
from the abc manufacturer would see Proteus as a programming language for
his machine.

This is a very minimal implementation, however, it still adds additional functionality to the Mac OS. My plans are to keep updating Texx and hopefully it will mimic the mainframe version very closely."

Antreas,

That's a good question.  You'd have to ask the author, Aubrey Jaffer, about
his choice of names.

The language name, Scheme, is simply the six-character abbreviation of
Schemer, which Guy Steele and Gerald Sussman chose as the name to compete
with other popular MIT AI languages of the day, e.g. Conniver and Planner.

macscm

MAC NAME:
MacSCM

VERSION:
1.0

README:
"MacSCM is similar to x-scm (a SCM package for X-Windows) in that it is a bolt-on accessory for the "scm" Scheme interpreter that provides a way to build Macintosh applications. To build MacSCM, you must first obtain and successfully build scm, version scm4e0 or later. Thanks to some hooks added to scm by its author, Aubrey Jaffer, x-scm requires no modifications whatsoever to scm itself."

SIOD

Etymology:
SIOD = Scheme In One Defun

MAC NAME:
Siod

VERSION:
3.0

README:
"This is a scheme interpreter with built-in procedures using the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) and DIGITAL RDB SQL Services. You can use it merely as a flexible database loader/unloader with fast binary flat-file data save/restore. Or you can use it to apply the classic "Symbolic Manipulation" or "Artificial Intelligence" techniques on your data sets. The main-program can be oriented towards batch, character-cell terminal, or Window/GUI."

HELP

Etymology:
HELP = Help Est un Lisp Paresseux

MAC NAME:
Help

VERSION:
1.4

README:
"Help is a statically1 scoped language (identifier scope is lexical) as are Scheme, Algol… Each identifier occurrence is associated with a lexically visible binding of this identifier. Help is non-sctrict, relying on call by need (also referred as "lazyness") for every parameter passing as in Lazy Miranda. Help is dynamically typed (types are latent), i.e. types are associated with values not variables. This is usual in Lisp, APL, Snobol. Help closures (or procedures) are full citizens that may be dynamically created, gathered in any data structure (eventually infinite data structures). Help shares this quality with every "functionnal" language (such as Hope, Miranda, Daisy…). Help objects (closures, evironments, numbers) have unlimited extent. The memory management software will simply collect any object that may not be referenced by Help user (usually referred as the "GC" or "Garbage Collector"). The same type of system is used in every Lisp, APL, Prolog . It has been proposed for Ada, but no implementation i know has included it. Help does not support iteration, only recursion (lazyness and iteration do not originate from the same world). Therefore, the interpreter efficiently handles terminal recursions. This allows these recursions to operate with a fixed stack size consumption."

MAC NAME (package):
Codeworks

VERSION:
0.92b5 (Demo version)

README:
"Glyphic Script is a modern, object oriented, language. Glyphic Script has objects, message passing, inheritance and a unified object model. While all these concepts may sound complicated, they actually combine to produce a simple, easy to use and understand system. It is easier than languages like C or Basic because it is very consistent and has only a few concepts to learn."

>why  did you choose (nice choice !) the greek word GLYPHIC to name your
Script language?

We didn't know it was a Greek word, only of Greek origin. Languages are
written with glyphs, - so since a scripting system is the actual medium
in which you write a language for a computer, Glyphic seemed appropriate.
In the same vein, Hieroglyphics are another way of writing language, and 
Glyphic is a simplication of that word.

ISETL

Etymolgy:
ISETL = Interactive SETL

MAC NAME:
ISETL

VERSION:
3.0

README:
"This version was compiled with Think-C (c) Symantec Screen Editor based on the THINK C Class Library. The interactive line editor was derived from ILE written by Robert C. Pendleton (c) 1988, Evans & Sutherland. This program was developed while the author was a member of the Clarkson faculty, using the Z200 provided by the school. West Publishing has provided a Macintosh for further refinement of the Mac version. West has also provided support for the development of the PC and Mac graphics features. There are many people who have contributed to the ideas behind ISETL. First and foremost is Ed Dubinsky, whose idea it was to use SETL for teaching Discrete Mathematics. His dissatisfaction with the old implementation suggested this project. Others include: Nancy Baxter, Don Muench, and that mysterious bunch that we just call IWEST."

README:
"The Macintosh implementation of SETL2 runs as a tool in the Macintosh Programmers Workshop Development Environment. It will not run as a stand-alone application, so MPW is absolutely required. MPW is available from the Apple Programmers and Developers Association (APDA), run by Apple. It provides a Unix-like shell for the Mac, and therefore allows SETL2 to use the same user interface for the Mac which it uses for other implementations."
