Hey, hey, hey!!! Slow down. I am *not* the one to start an open source project with Snobol. It was just a suggestion. Some here *might* want to work on a ...
The thought that "modern control structures" make or break SNOBOL is interesting. And yet, in my opinion, rather horribly wrong. LISP has retained it's "feel"...

Yes, I am interested -- is it possible for you to post the preprocessor? I guess I could "regenerate" from your description, if needed. I don't like the...
Thinking back on my days of sno/spitbol programing... I found that manytimes the 'gratuitous' labels actually served sort of as comments. However, my bigest...

G'day everyone Has anyone done anything in this general direction? I've got the GNAT Ada g-spitbo files open in front of me and am looking for a way of making...
I have hacked in -MODULE 'name' and &MODULE. The module name is stuffed into the generated code (like &FILE is), so retrieving it gives the expected result. ...
My "butchered" C-MAINBOL sports a DESCR size of 96 bits, and a SPEC size of 192 bits. It passes the regressions, and I have been thowing other stuff at it, "to...
I have not actually *moved* into that direction, but I see at least two paths: (1) use Ada 2005's type Wide_Wide_String and associated converters (2) replace...

Jonathan It is just "thrown over the top". Your pre-processor makes SNOBOL4 look like, ahem, C. I have already mentioned the fate of LISP 2, which tried to...
