Ch supports ISO C standard (C90), major new features in C99, classes in C++, POSIX, X/Motif, Windows, OpenGL, ODBC, GTK+, C LAPACK, CGI, 2D/3D graphical plotting, advanced numerical computing, and shell programming. Moreover, Ch has many salient features from other languages and software packages.
C is for low-level system programming and embedded systems; C++ for large-scale projects; Ch for platform-independent script computing. If your applications need high performance, you can deploy and compile your code as native code with a C/C++ compiler. For rapid application development, fast time-to-market, and running across platform without tedious compile/link cycles, Ch will be the best choice. Ch is optimal for numerical computing and visualization, embedded scripting, Web programming and plotting, safe network computing, shell programming, integration with legacy systems, integration and control of mechatronic systems, and teaching and learning.
Ch allows you to write C/C++ code once in one platform, run it in all other platforms including Windows, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, and HP-UX.
Ch makes hard things easy and easy things easier. It overcomes the shortcomings of C/C++ compilers for:
Scripting to automate repetitive tasks and rapid prototyping
Embedded scripting
Scientific numerical computing
Unix/Windows shell programming
2D/3D graphical plotting
Web programming
Safe network computing
Interactive computing
Many scripting languages have claimed that their syntax resembles C or C++, but they are not C or C++. Their coding style and syntax are different from C/C++. Ch is an embeddable interpreter that provides a superset of C with salient extensions. It parses and executes C code directly without intermediate code or byte code. It does not distinguish interpreted code from compiled C/C++ code. Ch is the most complete C interpreter and C virtual machine in existence. Ch is embeddable in other application programs and hardware.
很多脚本语言宣称它们的语法类似于C或C++,但是它们都不是C/C++.它们的编码风格和语法不同于C/C++.Ch是一种可嵌入解释器,它提供了C的扩展集集,带有醒目的扩展名.它不会生成中间代码或者字节机器码,而是直接解析并执行C代码.它并不分辨解释码还是编译码(应该是说它的代码和编译型的没有区别,通过后直接编译就可以运行).Ch是现有的当中最彻底的C解释器和C虚拟机.Ch可嵌入其他应用程序和硬件.
