Description:
|
Glish is a language, interpreter, and class library for building
loosely-coupled distributed systems. Glish implements a "software
bus" to which processes are connected and controlled by the Glish
scripting language. The Glish C++ library provides all of the tools
necessary for processes to connect to the software bus and exchange
structured binary data.
The Glish scripting language is a powerful vector oriented
programming language which also has constructs for handling and
directing all of the asynchronous events flowing on the software bus.
In addition, the basic Tk widgets have been bound to Glish. This
allows the event flow on the bus and the event flow from user
interaction to all be handle and controlled by the same script.
Glish was originally developed by Vern Paxson and Chris Saltmarsh as
part of the Superconducting Super Collider project. However since the
release 2.5 at the end of 1994, Darrell Schiebel has continued Glish
development at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory
(http://www.nrao.edu/). At the NRAO, Glish is a cornerstone of the
AIPS++ project.
