    WOOL (Windowing Object Oriented Language) is asmall and fast fully interpreted language intended to be embedded into C applications to provide them with a powerful, yet fast and small extension language. Its syntax is that of Lisps (its external syntax has been kept as close as possible to Common Lisp), but its implementation is original and efficient, to give full extensibility, intimate interfacing to C, incremental garbage collection, and full portability on either K&R or ANSI C. Wool v1 has been developed in november 1987, and used in GWM, the extensible X11 window manager since april 1988. Its success and use in other products (mainly the Motif interface builder EGERIA) has led to a 2nd version, wool2 in sum-mer 92.
