Details

SockZ is a small programming language for RiscOS computers, using a stack (smells like Forth, huh? ;) and able to work with big relative integers.

If you want to know more about SockZ download the whole archive, it contains some example programs, benchmarks, sourcecode & more documentation. For the time being here is a small list of features:

+ Faster than GNU bc 1.02, Derive v2.03, Maple V2 (DOS) & Numbers (RiscOS).
+ Allows easy definition of functions.
+ Has small memory needs and the interpreter is only 8Kb.
+ Can handle integers in the range [-22^34+1;22^34-1].
+ Stack can contain up to 231-1 objects.
+ Written in pure ARM assembly language!
+ Freeware and provided with sources.
+ Has a funny name and doesn't stink as much as real sockz. ;)
= Currently interpreted, a compiler/tokeniser might come later on.
- Very lousy development environment.
- No byte arrays/string handling facilities.
- No load/save facility.
