PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
POP-2
Robin POPplestone, Edinburgh, 1967. An innovative language
incorporating many of Landin's ideas, including streams,
closures, and functions as first-class citizens. ALGOL-like
syntax. The first implementation was named Multi-POP, based
on a REVPOL function written in POP-1, producing the
reverse-polish form as output. "POP-2 Papers", R.M. Burstall
et al, Oliver & Boyd 1968. "Programming in POP-2",

Manual", R. Popplestone, Mach Intell 2, E. Dale et al eds,

POP-2
POP-2 (also referred to as POP2) is a programming language developed around 1970 from the earlier language POP-1 (developed by Robin Popplestone in 1968, originally named COWSEL) by Robin Popplestone and Rod Burstall at the University of Edinburgh. It drew roots from many sources: the languages LISP and ALGOL 60, and theoretical ideas from Peter J. Landin. It used an incremental compiler, which gave it some of the flexibility of an interpreted language, including allowing new function definitions at run time and modification of function definitions while a program was running (both of which are features of dynamic compilation), without the overhead of an interpreted language.
