I think you may have made that up largely out of whole cloth. Creating
a new workable language and proving its viability is hard. I don't
believe FLARE ever gained enough momentum to achieve this. I for one
saw nothing terribly compelling or necessary about the language. It
was not some huge boon to AI programming in general. IMHO, it was a
needless distraction.
