Is there a point to posting this (quite old) paper?

Yes, it is an interesting PL design that may be inspiring or informative.

I'm not sure what age has to do with anything. Most major advances in CS are old.

I wasn't trying to be snarky, but a lot of exciting things have happened in PL design since 1988.

And conversely a lot can still be learned from as far back as 1964 (e.g. APL).

Touche!
