This is a free port of the original SIL (SNOBOL4 Implementation Language)
|
|
macro version of SNOBOL4 (developed at Bell Labs) with the C language as
|
|
target. Includes SPITBOL and BLOCKS extensions.
|
|
|
|
SNOBOL4, while known primarily as a string language excels at any task
|
|
involving symbolic manipulations. It provides run time typing,
|
|
garbage collection, user data types, on the fly compilation. Its
|
|
primary weakness is its simple syntax, and lack of structured
|
|
programming constructs. However some consider the spareness of
|
|
SNOBOL4 syntax a strength when compared to some modern agglomerations.
