SNOBOL 4

Summary

Description: SNOBOL4 interpreter
Source: ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/snobol/budne/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

This is a port of the original SIL (SNOBOL4 Implementation Language) "macro" version of SNOBOL4 with the C language as a target.

SNOBOL4, while known promarily as a string language excels at any task involving symbolic manipulations. It provides run time typing, garbage collection, user data types, on the fly compilation. Its primary weakness is it's simple syntax, and lack of "structured programming" constructs.

Extensions where present have been chosen to be compatible with one or more of; Catspaw Vanilla SNOBOL, Catspaw Macro SPITBOL and/or SITBOL.
