Yorick

Yorick is an interpreted programming language that professionals in scientific simulations or calculations, postprocessing, steering large simulation codes, interactive scientific graphics, and reading, writing, or translating large files of numbers will find useful. The software stands out from the rest due to the inclusive interactive graphics package and binary file package that can translate to and from the raw numeric formats of all modern computers.

Yorick is well-written in ANSI C and runs on most operating systems, including *nix systems, Windows, and MacOS. The language has a compact syntax similar to C with array operators. Its flexibility makes it expandable through dynamic linking of C libraries, allowing efficient manipulation of arbitrary size/dimension arrays.

One of the key strengths of Yorick is the significant graphic capabilities it offers. Professionals can easily create interactive visualizations of data and output results quickly. The software is an excellent tool for data scientists, engineers, and researchers, whether they are working with small or large datasets.

In the latest release, the developers have fixed a serious bug in drat/Makefile and hex/Makefile for cygwin/mingw, making the software even more reliable. Overall, Yorick is an exceptional programming language that is worth trying out for anyone in the scientific community.
