Pop-11

   <language> A programming language created by Robin Popplestone
   in 1975, originally for the PDP-11.  Pop-11 is
   stack-oriented, extensible, and efficient like FORTH.  It
   is also functional, dynamically typed, interactive, with
   garbage collection like LISP, and the syntax is block
   structured like Pascal.
