340.0. "What is CHIL?" by ODIXIE::CAIRNS () Fri Jul 31 1992 12:16

    Has anyone heard of a language called CHIL or CHILL?  It is supposed to 
    be popular in the telecom space.  Does Digital have a compiler?  Could 
    it be a "C" variant?
    
    Thanks

	You are right that CHILL is popular in the telecommunication circles. I think that it is only popular in the EEC (mostly UK). I think it's semantics are designed after APL or Modula-2. Good luck in finding a compiler.

	It's older than Modula-2 and it definitely is not a C variant. Intermetrics in Cambridge, MA used to have a CHILL compiler. Someone in the GEM team used to work on that compiler when she was working for the British telecomm co. Suspect you won't find a current compiler though.
