What is yorick

yorick is:

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.
