Rlab is a high level programing language
based on C that has been designed to make it easier to
create mathematical applications. It is an interactive and interpreted scientific programing environment.
Rlab isn't a clone of
MATLAB. It base its self on matrix maths, and the concepts and the operators are very similar. But
Rlab uses a totally
different syntax, that make it more powerful and efficient, and reduces the ambiguities between both applications.
It is important to take into account that this program is handle by means of the
command line console. So it isn't apt for “windows” addicts. If you are used to this work method, you will soon realize this programs power.
Even though its development finished in 2001,
Rlab still has version for
Windows and Linux, and we will be able to obtain the source code under the
GPL license, so if you want to develop scientific applications
download this software.
