Anyone seeking a simple recursive block structured language with a simple subroutine structure

About FLooP

FLooP was a very simple recursive block structured language invented by Douglas Hofstadter for his book Godel, Escher, Bach. It features a simple subroutine structure, very simple number and boolean handling, and recursion. Unlike its cousin BLooP, FLooP does support unbounded loops. This allows it to possess the full power of a Turing machine, thus making it fair game for various undecidability theorums. The syntax of FLooP is rather verbose but simple in structure. Though Hofstadter doesn't mention it in GEB, FLooP is similar to early exercises in exploring the computational model of "Random Access Machines". Note the use of 'CELL(0) <= 2' and similar constructs. Though FLooP was never intended to be more than an academic exercise, an implementation of FLooP in Perl was made. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it. S - block-structured language type.
