There's also Poplog prolog, included in the Poplog system, which
provides incremental compilers for Prolog, Standard ML, Common Lisp
and Pop-11 (a language with similar functionality to common lisp but
a more redundant pascal-like syntax and some other differences).
Poplog comes with an integrated editor (including "compile from
marked range") and a large collection of teaching and documentation
files, plus libraries in source code. Users can add portable
incremental compilers for additional languages using Poplog's
compiler-building tools.


Version 14 Poplog, recently released, provides a general X11R4
interface allowing X widget sets (e.g. Athena, Open Look, and from
V14.1 also Motif) to be dynamically linked (or unlinked).

The full X facilities currently work on Suns, SPARC systems and HP
9000/300 series workstations, but are being ported to other existing
Poplog platforms, VAX ultrix, DECstation ultrix, Sequent Symmetry.

Poplog is not free. Commercial prices start around 7,500 pounds
(UK), with approx 85% discount (or more) for academics outside the
UK and larger discounts for academics in the UK, who get it direct
from the developers, Sussex University.
