@Yorick is an interpreted programming language for:
 * scientific simulations or calculations
 * postprocessing or steering large simulation codes
 * interactive scientific graphics
 * reading, writing, and translating large files of numbers

The language features a compact syntax for many common array
operations, so it processes large arrays of numbers very quickly and
efficiently.  Superficially, yorick code resembles C code, but yorick
variables are never explicitly declared and have a dynamic scoping
similar to many Lisp dialects.  The yorick language is designed to be
typed interactively at a keyboard, as well as stored in files for
later use.

This package includes an emacs-based development environment, which
you can launch by typing M-x yorick in emacs, if you load
.../share/yorick/yorick.el in your ~/.emacs file.

Yorick is an interpreted language like Basic or Lisp.  For an interpreter,
Yorick is very fast for many scientific applications.  It features:

     * A C-like language, but without declarative statements.
     * An X window system interactive graphics package.
     * Yorick's binary file package can read or write floating point
       formats foreign to the machine where Yorick is running.
     * A library of functions written in the Yorick language.
     * Provisions for embedding compiled subroutines and functions within
       a Yorick interpreter.

Because Yorick can read either text or binary files, it can be used
"out of the box" as a pre- and post-processor for most existing
physics simulation programs.

Read the article in the Nov/Dec 1995 issue of Computers in Physics
(Vol. 9, p. 609) for more details.
