I would like to use Pop11 with NeWS.  (For a review of Pop11 see Byte,
May 1988).  Pop has lisp-like functionality, but with Pascal style syntax.
It is a stack based language and includes data items which are like
dictionaries, arrays and objects.  Like NeWS it is fun to program with.

I feel that this would be a useful and interesting combination.
