Abstract

IL is a language for developing mouse-driven interactive applications. It is an example of a "little language" as described by Jon Bentley (1986). We conceived IL as a tool for building interactive applications based on an event-driven model. When an event occurs, the systems performs one or more specified actions. By supporting this interactive model the programmer can concentrate on the details of the interactive application as opposed to the details of a specific interaction.
