Q
<language> A very high level language by Per Bothner based on lazy
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 an
interactive command language.
Q is implemented in C++, and comes with an interpreter, compiler framework,
libraries, and documentation. It runs on Linux and SUN-4 and should work on any
32-bit Unix.
Latest version: 1, as of 1993-06-07. Development stopped in 1994.
