RPL & Avisynth

[lisztfr9]

Just an out topic, and happy new year :-)

Since long time i was wondering where the Avisynth syntax is coming from. Using RPN, this could lead to HP, anyway i found another link regarding the RPL language : There you find a command, a stack command called LAST, so this could shed some light over the origins of avisynth. Also the idea of stack manipulation is similar to dealing with a flow of clips....! Regarding RETURN, this command is found anywhere and doesn't give a real clue.

I don't know what parts of the language you are referring to exactly, but structurally Avisynth script is pretty much "babby's first graph description language". The syntax is a bit quirky and seems to have been inspired by several different sources.
