42 | (description |
43 | "Nickle is a programming language based prototyping environment with |
44 | powerful programming and scripting capabilities. Nickle supports a variety of |
45 | datatypes, especially arbitrary precision numbers. The programming language |
46 | vaguely resembles C. Some things in C which do not translate easily are |
47 | different, some design choices have been made differently, and a very few |
48 | features are simply missing. Nickle provides the functionality of Unix bc, dc |
49 | and expr in a different form. It is also an ideal environment for prototyping |
50 | complex algorithms. Nickle's scripting capabilities make it a replacement for |
51 | spreadsheets in some applications, and its numeric features complement the |
52 | limited numeric functionality of text-oriented languages such as AWK and Perl.") |
