The Pail Programming Language

Designed and implemented by Chris Pressey

Description

Pail is a programming language based on pairs; just as Lisp stands for LISt Processing, Pail stands for PAIr Language. Its original working title was "Bizaaro[sic]-Pixley", as it attempts to resemble Pixley while turning several concepts on their heads: use pairs instead of lists, quote by default instead of eval by default, and allow not just values but also names of bindings to be expressed.

Develop

Pail development is hosted on Bitbucket, with a git mirror on githib.
