* Package name : q-lang Version : 6.0 Upstream Author : Albert Graef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL Description : Q equational programming language Q stands for "equational", so Q, in a nutshell, is a programming language which lets you "program by equations". You specify a system of equations which the interpreter uses as "rewrite rules" to reduce expressions to "normal form". The Q language supports a rich variety of built-in types, like arbitrary precision integers, floating point numbers (double precision 64 bit), truth values, strings, lists and files. It also provides primitives for exception handling and multithreaded execution. Q also allows you to interface to "external" modules written in the C programming language, which provides a means to access functions in C libraries and employ C's higher processing speed for time-critical tasks. Conversely, Q scripts can also be executed from C, which allows Q to be used as an embedded language or term rewriting engine in C/C++ applications. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
