A Java based scientific programming environment with a scripting interpreter supported with Java classes
Stergios T. Papadimitriou, Konstantinos Terzidis · 2006
The jLab environment provides a Scilab like scripting language that is executed by an interpreter implemented in the Java language. This language supports all the basic programming constructs and an extensive set of built in mathematical routines that cover all the basic numerical analysis tasks. The efficiency of the Java compiled code can be directly utilized for any computationally intensive operations. Since jLab is coded in pure Java the build from source process is much cleaner, faster, platform independent and less error prone than similar C/C++/Fortran based open source environments (e.g. Scilab, Octave).
