... Actually, a coworker of mine used to work in the Tivoli division at IBM, and was using Prolog there. It's a plenty good way of characterizing complex...
From: fnaa454 ... I don't think Gordon meant that as a slam of any language just used it as an example. The bigger point was to use a language or tool ...
... I just want to share a case where it turned out SPITBOL (on Sparc, from Catspaw) was the right tool for a billing application. I was on a consulting gig...
On Tue, 17 Jul 2007 08:24:23 -0700 ... Processing batch streams of data is one of the (many) things that SPITBOL does EXTREMELY well. :-) At one of my clients...

... Hi, as an OS/2 and eComStation enthusiast and (new) SNOBOL user, somehow I feel urged to reply to this post. In fact the integrated Rexx hasn't got any...
Hi Robin: You wrote: ..... <quote> I ported CSNOBOL4 to OS/2 a while ago. Sadly I was too lazy to upload it to Hobbes (OS/2 software archive) but I'm using it...

Please ignore my earlier post about running Gordon's 99 bottles program: I know what the problem was. In SNOBOL4+ I made a simple typing error: I put "PLUSOPS ...
... Strange, it was the opposite with me. I don't think I would have tried out Snobol if I wouldn't have found Snocone in the first place. I actually prefer...

FWIW, I used Icon for a while and really like it for certain tasks (e.g. for combinatorial-type problems, it is probably unbeatable) but in the end analysis I...
