- This project is essentially an investigation of some off-beat ideas
- about functional programming through the design and implementation of
- a novel language called Ursala (a pseudo-acronym for universal
- applicative language). Its main preoccupations are brevity and
- flexibility for rapid prototyping, with a bias toward applications
- involving text processing/compilation, trees, graphs, and number
- crunching (via built-in API's for some good numerical libraries such
- as lapack, gsl, mpfr, and others). It's probably best suited to
- individual projects because it enforces no particular coding standards
- or practices and makes unreadable code easier to write than most
- non-esoteric languages.
- Ursala is mainly an individual effort that has been around for some
- years but neglected lately due to my day job. I'm now looking to
- revive it and address some issues, such as improving the web presence
- and on-line documentation. Comments and feedback are welcome on the
- mailing list, [email protected].
