tab

Description: A programming language/shell calculator

Why another programming language? Because tab is a special programming language unlike any other:

• It's statically-typed and type-infered.
• It also infers memory consumption and guarantees O(n) memory use.
• It is designed for concise one-liner computations right in the shell prompt.
• It features both a mathematics library and a set of data slicing and aggregation primitives.
• It is faster than all other interpreted languages with a similar scope. (Perl, Python, awk, ...)
• It is not Turing-complete. (But can compute virtually anything nonetheless.)
• It is self-contained: distributed as a single statically linked binary and nothing else.
• It has no platform dependencies.

You can think of tab as a kind of general-purpose query language for text file.

Adapted and packaged for Haiku by Michel Clasquin-Johnson. Tested on Haiku R1/beta 4 in the x86_64 bit variant.
