RFS: q-lang



I've packaged Q and would like to get a sponsor for it.

Package: q-lang
Version: 5.2-1
Description: Q equational programming language
 Q stands for "equational", so Q, in a nutshell, is a programming
 language which lets you "program by equations". You specify a system of
 equations which the interpreter uses as "rewrite rules" to reduce
 expressions to "normal form".

 The Q language supports a rich variety of built-in types, like
 arbitrary precision integers, floating point numbers (double precision
 64 bit), truth values, strings, lists and files. It also provides
 primitives for exception handling and multithreaded execution. Q also
 allows you to interface to "external" modules written in the C
 programming language, which provides a means to access functions in C
 libraries and employ C's higher processing speed for time-critical
 tasks. Conversely, Q scripts can also be executed from C, which allows
 Q to be used as an embedded language or term rewriting engine in C/C++
 applications.

Package: q-lang-doc
Version: 5.2-1
