'''Poplog''' is a [[Reflective programming|reflective]], [[Dynamic compilation#Incremental compilation|incrementally compiled]] [[software development]] [[computer programming]] [[integrated development environment]] and [[system platform]] for the [[programming language]]s [[POP-11]], [[Common Lisp]], [[Prolog]], and [[Standard ML]]. It was created originally in the [[United Kingdom]] for teaching and research in [[artificial intelligence]], at the [[University of Sussex]], and later marketed as a commercial package for software development, teaching, and research. It was one of the initiatives supported for a time by the UK government-funded [[Alvey Programme]].

It was licensed originally from 1982 to 1999, as [[proprietary software]], then released in 1999 as [[open-source software]], under a mix of [[MIT License|MIT]] and then [[XFree86 License|XFree86]] licenses.
