(language)(AE) An embeddable language, written as a Cinterpreter by Brian Bliss at UIUC. AE is compiled with anapplication and thus exists in the same process and addressspace. It includes a dbx symbol table scanner to accesscompiled variables and routines, or you can enter themmanually by providing a type/name declaration and the address.When the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments areread from the input stream (or a string), parsed, andevaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functionsin addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new datatypes and data objects, etc. Different input streams can beevaluated in parallel on Alliant computers.

AE has been ported to SunOS (cc or gcc), Alliant FX andCray YMP (soon).
