     868
     869      <para>The <application>HLA</application> language was developed as a tool
     870      to help teach assembly language programming and machine organization to
     871      University students at the University of California, Riverside. The basic
     872      idea was to teach students assembly language programming by leveraging
     873      their knowledge of high level languages like C/C++ and Pascal/Delphi. At
     874      the same time, <application>HLA</application> was designed to allow
     875      advanced assembly language programmers write more readable and more
     876      powerful assembly language code.</para>

     964
     965      <para><application>Joy</application> is a purely functional programming
     966      language. Whereas all other functional programming languages are based on
     967      the application of functions to arguments, <application>Joy</application>
     968      is based on the composition of functions. All such functions take a stack
     969      as an argument and produce a stack as a value. Consequently much of
     970      <application>Joy</application> looks like ordinary postfix notation.
     971      However, in <application>Joy</application> a function can consume any
     972      number of parameters from the stack and leave any number of results on
     973      the stack. The concatenation of appropriate programs denotes the
     974      composition of the functions which the programs denote.</para>

     1552
     1553      <para><application>Squeak</application> is an open, highly-portable
     1554      Smalltalk implementation whose virtual machine is written entirely in
     1555      Smalltalk, making it easy to debug, analyze, and change. To achieve
     1556      practical performance, a translator produces an equivalent C program
     1557      whose performance is comparable to commercial Smalltalks. Other
     1558      noteworthy aspects of <application>Squeak</application> include:
     1559      real-time sound and music synthesis written entirely in Smalltalk,
     1560      extensions of BitBlt to handle color of any depth and anti-aliased
     1561      image rotation and scaling, network access support that allows simple
     1562      construction of servers and other useful facilities, it runs
     1563      bit-identical on many platforms (Windows, Mac, Unix, and others), a
     1564      compact object format that typically requires only a single word of
     1565      overhead per object and a simple yet efficient incremental garbage
     1566      collector for 32-bit direct pointers efficient bulk-mutation of
     1567      objects.</para>

     1584
     1585      <para><application>SR</application> is a language for writing concurrent
     1586      programs. The main language constructs are resources and operations.
     1587      Resources encapsulate processes and variables they share; operations
     1588      provide the primary mechanism for process interaction.
     1589      <application>SR</application> provides a novel integration of the
     1590      mechanisms for invoking and servicing operations. Consequently, all of
     1591      local and remote procedure call, rendezvous, message passing, dynamic
     1592      process creation, multicast, and semaphores are supported.
     1593      <application>SR</application> also supports shared global variables and
     1594      operations.</para>

     1726
     1727      <para><application>Yorick</application> is an interpreted programming
     1728      language, designed for postprocessing or steering large scientific
     1729      simulation codes. Smaller scientific simulations or calculations, such as
     1730      the flow past an airfoil or the motion of a drumhead, can be written as
     1731      standalone yorick programs. The language features a compact syntax for
     1732      many common array operations, so it processes large arrays of numbers
     1733      very efficiently. Unlike most interpreters, which are several hundred
     1734      times slower than compiled code for number crunching,
     1735      <application>Yorick</application> can approach to within a factor of four
     1736      or five of compiled speed for many common tasks. Superficially,
     1737      <application>Yorick</application> code resembles C code, but
     1738      <application>Yorick</application> variables are never explicitly declared
     1739      and have a dynamic scoping similar to many Lisp dialects. The
