: From: wb@arb-phys.uni-dortmund.de (Wilhelm B. Kloke) : Message-ID: <1992Nov12.082643.8415@arb-phys.uni-dortmund.de> ::: Lisp. Forth. Postscript. Smalltalk. :: You forgot Prolog. : Add Ada, Algol68, TeX as well. Hmmmm? I knew that Ada, C++, and others had the ability to coin new meanings for *existing* operators, but (other than functional notation) I thought they could not introduce completely *new* operators. That is, the parse and expression syntax is constant. Was I wrong? ( As I said, it seems to depend to a certain extent what one allows as an "operator" (and the meaning of "new" also... ) ) -- Wayne Throop ...!mcnc!dg-rtp!sheol!throopw
