second time this week i've had occasion to mention lush[1], which was in many ways an early attempt at what julia is doing now. from their homepage: 8<-------------------------------------------- Lush brings the best of both worlds by wrapping three languages into one: (1) a weakly-typed, garbage-collected, dynamically scoped, interpreted language with a simple Lisp-like syntax, (2) a strongly-typed, lexically-scoped compiled language that uses the same Lisp-like syntax, and (3) the C language, which can be freely mixed with Lush code within a single program, even within a single function. It sounds complicated, but it is not. In fact, Lush is designed to be very simple to learn and easy to use. 8<-------------------------------------------- [1] http://lush.sourceforge.net/ http://lush.sourceforge.net/
