Yorick is an interpreted programming language for:
|
|
|
|
|
* scientific simulations or calculations
|
|
|
|
|
* postprocessing or steering large simulation codes
|
|
|
|
|
* interactive scientific graphics
|
|
|
|
|
* reading, writing, and translating large files of numbers

The language features a compact syntax for many common array
|
|
|
|
|
operations, so it processes large arrays of numbers very quickly and
|
|
|
|
|
efficiently. Superficially, yorick code resembles C code, but yorick
|
|
|
|
|
variables are never explicitly declared and have a dynamic scoping
|
|
|
|
|
similar to many Lisp dialects. The yorick language is designed to be
|
|
|
|
|
typed interactively at a keyboard, as well as stored in files for
|
|
|
|
|
later use.

This package includes an emacs-based development environment, which
|
|
|
|
|
you can launch by typing M-x yorick in emacs, if you load
|
|
|
|
|
.../share/yorick/yorick.el in your ~/.emacs file.
