Scala3Lab

The Scala3Lab project aims to provide an efficient scientific programming environment for the Java Virtual Machine. The scripting language is based on the Scala3 programming language enhanced with high level scientific operators and with an integrated environment that provides a MATLAB-like working style. Also, all the huge libraries of Java scientific code can be easily accessible (and many times with a more convenient syntax). The main potential of the Scala3Lab is numerical code speed and flexibility. The statically typed Scala language can provide speeds of scripting code similar to pure Java. A major design priority of Scala3Lab is its user-friendly interface. We like the user to enjoy writing scientific code, and with this objective we design the whole framework.

The MATLAB-like mathematical DSL of Scala3Lab is termed ScalaSci , and is developed as an internal DSL, by exploiting the superb extensibility of the Scala language.
