There's a Macintosh implementation of Navel, a rather eccentric
applicative order, run-time typed, pure functional language with
lazy lists, but it doesn't have pointers :-). Lazy list arguments
can be used to get the effect of lazy evaluation. The Macintosh
implementation was developed at Griffiths University in Australia,
is experimental and is not supported. More details from me:
