Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 12:00AM New programming Language!
Name: Fortress
Developer: Sun Microsystems
Aim: kill Fortran (and good riddance)
The Fortress language incorporates a mathematical syntax, meaning that mathematic symbols are operators and can be used to write a program. As a result, mathematical operations look exactly the same in the code as they would as they do in the mathematical textbooks, or on the professors' whiteboards.[...]
Fortress features both implicit and explicitly parallelism, Flood said. Unlike every other programming language, Fortress assumes that the functions you write can run in parallel. A programmer has to specify when this is not the case. It will also divvy out work among multiple processors.
[...]units of measurements are types, assuring that no mistakes will be made multiplying, say, kilometers with miles.
