Are there any online refs to this language?  If so, mail me.

Also [especially since this was cross-posted to the Python group]
I have to mention that Python is great for this kind of prototyping,
and it comes with a native debugger, profiler, guis, various
external interfaces, www class libraries, network support....
It's also absolutely free, even for commercial uses, and it
ports to many unices, windows/dos, apple, NeXt, possible others...
Unlike TCL it also has OO features and honest to god data
structures too... etc, etc...

But best of all, it's extremely easy to extend with compiled
components.  This makes it great for incremental rapid prototyping,
where critical components can be eventually reimplemented in C without
scrubbing the prototype.  In a week or two I will publish an article
about this in Unix World Online.

In the mean time look to

 http://www.python.org

BTW: I cut the python group out of the distribution for this
post, because they already know this.		-a.
