: I'm looking for references/links to highly experimental programming
: languages with focus on both syntactic and semantic consistency.


  Language design is a strongly _human_
  activity and is as much about communication with other people
  (including later stages of the author's life) as with machines.


##### Agree, and see my offer below


[I'd say that Common Lisp resembles MS Word in its kitchen-sink-ness,
but Scheme remains one of the cleanest and most productive languages
around. -John]


Standard ML with the Basis Library is the winner for me,
just to put my 2c here.
Standard ML of New Jersey is a good implementation of it, and is freely
available:
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/index.html
it includes ML-Lex,ML-Yacc,Concurrent ML, ML-Burg.


see comp.lang.ml for the language.
