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.") + (home-page "https://nickle.org/") + (license license:expat))) |
