Yorick is an interpreted language like Basic or Lisp. For an interpreter,
Yorick is very fast for many scientific applications. It features:
* A C-like language, but without declarative statements.
* An X window system interactive graphics package.
* Yorick's binary file package can read or write floating point
formats foreign to the machine where Yorick is running.
* A library of functions written in the Yorick language.
* Provisions for embedding compiled subroutines and functions within
a Yorick interpreter.
Because Yorick can read either text or binary files, it can be used
"out of the box" as a pre- and post-processor for most existing
physics simulation programs.

(Vol. 9, p. 609) for more details.
