*** This is a pre-release of yorick-1.0, which will come out soon. *** Yorick is an interpreted language like Basic or Lisp, but far faster. * A C-like language, but without declarative statements. Operations between arrays produce array results, which is one reason for Yorick's high speed. Scientific computing and numerical analysis are the goals of most Yorick programs. * An X window system interactive graphics package. Concentrates on x-y plots and filling and contouring quadrilateral meshes. Also handles cell arrays. Hardcopy to binary CGM or PostScript files. A separate CGM browser is included. * Yorick's binary file package can read or write floating point formats foreign to the machine where Yorick is running. Thus, you can share binary files freely on heterogeneous networks. * A library of functions written in the Yorick language. These include Bessel, gamma, and related functions, multiple key sorting, spline, rational function, and least squares fitting, and routines to read and write netCDF files. * Provisions for embedding compiled subroutines and functions within a Yorick interpreter. A compiled package which solves matrices and performs FFTs is supplied.

primitive compared to Maple, but it's free and you get source
