I should perhaps make it clearer that poplog isn't itself a language.
It is a multi-language programming environment (code from the different
languages can be mixed, if you want to). Pop11 and prolog were the
first two languages implemented, hence the name. Common lisp and ML
were added later, as well as the ability to link in compiled object code
from C and other languages.
I am told that people wanting to pick up pop11 quickly have often found
the online primer at http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/primer/ to
be helpful. You can also download it from
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/pophtmlprimer.tar.gz if you
want your own local copy.

Nor would it be desirable :-)
