It provides run time typing, -garbage collection, user data types, on the fly compilation. Its -primary weakness is its simple syntax, and lack of "structured -programming" constructs. However some consider the spareness of -SNOBOL4 syntax a strength when compared to some "modern" agglomerations -such as perl. |
