A# as part of the Axiom computer algebra system

A# (A sharp) is an object-oriented functional programming language distributed as a separable component of Version 2 of the Axiom computer algebra system. A# types and functions are first-class values and can be used freely in conjunction with an extensive library of data structures and other mathematical abstractions. A key design guideline for A# was suitability of compilation to portable and efficient machine code. Development of A# has now switched to the Aldor programming language. There is both an A# optimising compiler and an A# intermediate code interpreter. The compiler can produce any of:

stand-alone executable programs
object libraries in native operating system formats
portable bytecode libraries
C source code, or
Lisp source code.

Ports have been made to many different architectures (16, 32, and 64 bit):

And to several operating systems:

Linux
AIX
SunOS
HP-UX
NeXT
Mach
plus a variety of other Unix systems
OS/2
DOS
Microsoft Windows
VMS
VM/CMS

The following C compilers are supported: gcc, Xlc, Sun, Borland, Metaware and MIPS C.

A# as part of the .NET environment

A# is a port of the Ada programming language to the Microsoft .NET Platform. A# is freely distributed by the Department of Computer Science at the United States Air Force Academy as a service to the Ada community under the terms of the GNU general public license.
