Robin Popplestone, Edinburgh Psychology Unit, 1967 Based on a REVPOL function in the MULTIPOP operating system rather than a true descendant of COWSEL per se.

The first of the "true" POPs, with reverse polish notation, streams, closures, and first class functions. (incorporating many of Landin's ideas from ISWIM)
