#2The links on the page seem broken, I did quick hunt around to get this better central link:
https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/freepoplo...
Or direct to the primer:
https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/primer/
Both of which seem like they are more reliable

#4Used this at Uni, on Sparc machines, cool you can get it on x86 now, shame I just got an m1.

#5I used this in the early 1980s, on a VAX 11/780. It was one of the three languages of Poplog. The other two were Prolog and Lisp. Lisp would have been my preference, but at the time it lacked some important features. I notice Poplog now has Common Lisp, which wasn't available until later.

Sussex? We used it in COGS and I think it was one of very few places teaching with it at the time.

#7I tinkered with it a little bit. It is surprisingly modern for a language built in the 80s. Unfortunately the development stalled. Would be worth of a new modern implementation.

#9I studied AI at Birmingham in the 00s and remember having to visit Prof. Aaron Sloman's office with £5 to purchase a hardcopy of the POP-11 primer.

It also has Standard(?) ML, doesn't it?
