Title: GLISP users' manual
Author: Novak, Gordon S., Jr.
Date: January 1982
Abstract: GLISP is a high-level, LISP-based language which is compiled
into LISP. GLISP provides a powerful abstract datatype
facility, allowing description and use of both LISP objects
and objects in A.I. representation languages. GLISP language
features include PASCAL-like control structures, infix
expressions with operators which facilitate list
manipulation, and reference to objects in PASCAL-like or
English-like syntax. English-like definite reference to
features of objects which are in the current computational
context is allowed; definite references are understood and
compiled relative to a knowledge base of object descriptions.
Object-centered programming is supported; GLISP can
substantially improve runtime performance of object-centered
programs by optimized compilation of references to objects.
This manual describes the GLISP language and use of GLISP
within INTERLISP.
