You specify a system of equations which the interpreter uses as rewrite rules to reduce expressions to normal form. Q lets you formulate programs in a high-level, declarative style. It is useful for scientific programming and other advanced applications, and also as a sophisticated kind of desktop calculator. Features include advanced symbolic expression manipulation, a fast bytecode interpreter, a collection of built-in types, support for lazy evaluation, exception handling, and multithreading, a libtool-based C interface, a standard library with various list processing functions, and add-on modules for interfacing with other programs.<br /> |User level=none<br /> |Status=Live<br /> |Component programs=q (interpreter),qc (bytecode compiler),qcc (module compiler),qld (module linker)<br /> |Homepage URL=http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/<br /> |VCS checkout command=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/q-lang<br /> |Computer languages=C,Q<br /> |Documentation note=User manual available in HTML format from http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/qdoc/qdoc.html; User manual available in PDF format from http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/qdoc.pdf; User FAQ available in HTML format from http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html;<br /> |Paid support=<br /> |IRC help=<br /> |IRC general=<br /> |IRC development=<br /> |Related projects=Q-Midi,Pure<br /> |Keywords=language,development,programming,Programming Language,rewrite,Q,equational<br /> |Is GNU=n<br /> |Last review by=Janet Casey<br /> |Last review date=2004-10-24<br /> |Submitted by=Database conversion<br /> |Submitted date=2011-04-01<br /> |Version identifier=6.0<br /> |Version date=2004-10-23<br /> |Version status=stable<br /> |Version download=http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/q-lang/q-6.0.tar.gz?download<br /> |License verified date=2002-07-03<br /> |Version comment=6.0 stable released 2004-10-23<br /> }}<br /> {{Person<br /> |Role=Maintainer<br /> |Real name=Albert Graef<br /> |Email=Dr.Graef@t-online.de<br /> |Resource URL=<br /> }}<br /> {{Resource<br /> |Resource audience=Developer<br /> |Resource kind=VCS Repository Webview<br /> |Resource URL=http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=96881<br /> }}<br /> {{Resource<br /> |Resource audience=Developer<br /> |Resource kind=Mailing List Info/Archive<br /> |Resource URL=http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/q-lang-devel<br /> }}<br /> {{Resource<br /> |Resource audience=Support<br /> |Resource kind=Mailing List Info/Archive<br /> |Resource URL=http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/q-lang-users<br /> }}<br /> {{Software category<br /> |Interface=command-line<br /> |Software-development=programming-language<br /> |Use=software-development<br /> }}<br /> {{Project license<br /> |License=GPLv2orlater<br /> |License verified by=Janet Casey<br /> |License verified date=2002-07-03<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Required to use<br /> |Prerequisite description=GNU multiprecision library (GMP) 3.0 or later<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Required to build<br /> |Prerequisite description=GNU multiprecision library (GMP) 3.0 or later<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Weak prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite description=GNU Octave (Octave module)<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Weak prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite description=IBM Open Data Explorer (DX module)<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Weak prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite description=Tcl/Tk (Tk module)<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Weak prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite description=Emacs (Q mode)<br /> }}</div>
