RFC 43

Title Block 🎀

okay bestie, this one is a whole vibe. It's RFC 43, titled Proposed Meeting, and it's from the Network Working Group 💅. The author is A. G. Nemeth at M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory, and it's dated 8 April 1970 🌸. The original doesn't say what category or status it has, and it doesn't list any documents it obsoletes or updates, so I'm not guessing 🙈.

Proposed Meeting ✨

On Friday, 8 May 1970, at 9:30 AM, there's a meeting proposed at M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory 🦋. The main event is a presentation about LIL (Local Interaction Language) for the TSP (Terminal Support Processor) system 💜.

The whole point of TSP is to give network users a flexible I/O capability 🔥. To make it super flexible, the system is user-programmable in an interpretable language called LIL. Iconic, right? 👑

LIL has the right primitives for handling tree structures (think interactive graphics) and message-oriented I/O 🧚. The general purpose part of the language is what gets used to specify the I/O handlers and the display structures 💖.

After that, there's a discussion about the problems of handling interactive programs over the ARPA network 🌈. Main character energy 💅.

This is meant to be a working group, so each host should send as few or as many people as are actively interested 🫶. A working document on LIL gets mailed about a week ahead to interested folks ✨.

If you want to attend and/or get the documents, reach out to A. G. Nemeth (x7354) or J. Forgie (x7173) at M.I.T. Lincoln Labs, Lexington, Mass. 02173, phone (617) 862-5500 📞😭.
