A♯ (pronounced: A sharp) is an
first-class values and can be used freely together with an extensive library of data structures and other mathematical abstractions. A key design guideline for A# was suitability of compiling to portable and efficient machine code. It is distributed as free and open-source software under a BSD-like license.[1]
Development of A# has now changed to the programming language Aldor.
A# has both an
intermediate code
interpreter. The compiler can emit any of:
- Executable stand-alone programs
- Libraries, of native operating system format objects, or of portable bytecode
- Source code, for languages C, or Lisp
The following C compilers are supported: GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), Xlc, Oracle Developer Studio, Borland, Metaware, and MIPS C.
