| Summary : A modern text/number processing language for the shell
|
Description :
This is a tutorial and reference for tab, a kind of programming language/shell calculator.
Why another programming language? Because tab is a special programming language unlike any other:
* It\'s statically-typed and type-infered.
* It also infers memory consumption and guarantees O(n) memory use.
* It is designed for concise one-liner computations right in the shell prompt.
* It features both a mathematics library and a set of data slicing and aggregation primitives.
* It is faster than all other interpreted languages with a similar scope. (Perl, Python, awk, ...)
* It is not Turing-complete. (But can compute virtually anything nonetheless.)
* It is self-contained: distributed as a single statically linked binary and nothing else.
* It has no platform dependencies.
You can think of tab as a kind of general-purpose query language for text files.
