Harlequin was a privately funded UK software company founded by Joe Marks, which had two main lines of business - digital pre-press (primarily ScriptWorks, a 'PostScript language compatible RIP'), and modern language development environments (compilers and IDEs) for Lisp, ML and Dylan. Their development products, LispWorks, ML Works and Harlequin Dylan, have been acquired by other companies.
Harlequin had offices in: Cambridge, England (including Barrington Hall and Longstanton); Edinburgh; Manchester; Cambridge, Massachusetts; and several other places.
Harlequin funded the Memory Management Reference[1] (http://www.memorymanagement.org/), a public resource on memory management and garbage collection, and the Memory Pool System[2] (http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/), a flexible memory manager and garbage collector now open-sourced.
