FIDIL(ID:1396/fid001)

Array based language with domains and regions as first class elements 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1988
Published: 1988

for FInite DIfference Language

Array variant of fortran with first class regionsLawrence Livermore Labs

Based on "maps", generalized arrays whose index sets ("domains") are arbitrary d-dimensional sets. Domains are first-class objects and may be constructed by union, intersection, etc.

Maps in turn based on Hilfinger's array/map extensions to Ada under the supervision of Shaw at CMU, and leading in turn to the Titanium Java array/map extensions
