functional language for computing with geometry
PLaSM is available for: Linux, MacOSX, and Windows. The typical user may like to get the binary excutables for the preferred computational environment.
Conversely, the advanced user might prefer to download the sources and to recompile and build the interpreter. An integrated language editor is not strictly required, since a standard text editor would be sufficient, but it may be very useful.
The specialized PLaSM editor Xplode will provide for syntax coloring, tab completion, menus of available libraries and functions, quick documentation and direct evaluation of every sub-expression.
A standard version is already integrated in the interpreter package.
You can either choose a binary distribution for your platform (to install and use) or get a source distribution (to configure, compile, build, install and use). Please notice that releases 5 and 4 are based on Scheme for the language interpreter and on C/C++ for the geometric kernel of the language. Conversely, the release 3 relies on Common Lisp as the only development environment.
