Talk:SPITBOL compiler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just a note to say that I wrote the original... I wasn't logged in then. -- Rochkind

There was already a stub article at SPITBOL. However I have made a redirect to this one which is better. I have also removed it from VfD since it should never have been there in the first place. Also note that you should sign your talk to avoid confusion with following comments. You can do this by typing in three or four ~ characters in a group. I have taken the liberty of signing your comment for you this time. -- Derek Ross 18:49, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

GNAT, the Ada compiler in GCC, has a string manipulation package which is called Spitbol. As I understand it, it's sort of like a generalized regular expression package which uses Spitbol (or would that be Snobol?) syntax. 213.184.192.82 11:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


This is not really a different language, right? It should probably be categorized under Category:Computer programming tools or maybe a compiler subcat. Stan 02:21, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • It fits well in Category:SNOBOL dialects. I've moved it there now. —danakil 02:36, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)
