To clarify for others who only follow the link titles, this is not the Tcl-inspired scripting language LIL[1] nor the other Tcl-based, C-clothing-wearing scripting language Little[2].

Amusingly enough, like the linked article's Lil, i used my LIL ~11 years ago to make a HyperCard-inspired painting+card-based database hybrid[0][1] :-P. But mine was something i only played around with for a bit but ultimately abandoned.

Since the language is Tcl-like, i had some commands like "set", "get", etc to ignore arguments like "of", "the", etc for a HyperTalk-ish flavor :-P (obviously in practice the syntax is actually very different and that can be seen in the calculator video[0] below when it comes to expressions).
