| Ok, I'll go first:
BLISS
A systems implementation language for the VAX, PDP-11 and
10s and 20s, with a common core and extensions. Much of
VMS and many layered products are written in BLISS.
It has a powerful and flexible macro facility, excellent
data-structuring, and allows detailed control of the generated
code. It is not a typed language, and has no built-in I/O.
To install BLISS, read TLE::SYS$PUBLIC:BLSINSTAL.MEM and
follow the directions.
There is a BLISS notes file at TURRIS::BLISS.

| I'm reopening this note, and inviting language projects to contribute
as requested.
Please keep in mind that this is not an official repository, merely
a convenience. We are in no way requiring language projects to
post information here, nor are we insisting that they keep their
entries up to date. If, for example, you discover that a conference
mentioned here no longer exists, your first action should be to
look in the EASYNET_CONFERENCES notes file for updated information,
and use that conference for requests. Also, if you would like a
project to add or update information here, don't ask them here.
Chances are that they don't read this conference, so it won't do
any good. Your best bet is to send mail.
Or, to put in a style more suitable for the litigious society in
which many of us live, we are not responsible for any errors,
omissions, etc.

| VAX APL� is the mostly functional language with the funny greek symbols
that deals exceptionally well with arrays. It is used heavily in
financial and scientific analysis. Its interactive style and use of
workspaces to store both code and data resembles most LISP and Prolog
implementations.

� APL = "A Programming Language", after the book by Ken Iverson,
not "Array Programming Language"
