(description
|

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