The L.in.oleum (often called ''Linoleum'' or simply ''Lino'') is an unstructured, untyped, procedural programming language and a cross-platform assembler developed by Italian programmer Alessandro Ghignola beginning in 2001. The initials stand for Low-level INterfaced OverLanguage for Extremely Universal Machine-coding. The L.in.oleum programming language (hereafter referred to as ''Lino'') is easier to learn than assembly languages. The Lino assembler is designed to assemble executable code for different central processing units (CPU) without needing changes to the source code. == Design == Lino is intended for writing general-purpose programs, especially when portability, execution speed, and module size are critical to the application's success. These traits are especially important in fields of study that demand performance-intensive programs. Examples of such fields (in which Lino is actually being used) include fractals, mathematics (such as an implementation of fast Fourier transform), and ray tracing, to name a few. This increased performance is achieved by Lino's nearly one-to-one ratio between Lino instructions and CPU instructions. That is, most instructions in Lino can be executed in one machine cycle, due to the way the language is set up. This gives a skilled programmer increased control over the computer, allowing for further optimization and tighter loops. Although Lino is a relatively new language, several useful programs are already being written in it. These programs, most of which are available via the (official Lino discussion forums ) or from (Peterpaul Klein Haneveld's site ), are in various stages of development. The list below is by no means comprehensive. Note that many of the above links take you to forum threads where these programs are uploaded and discussed. In addition to the above programs, there are many more programs written in Lino, as well as dozens of libraries written in Lino. Interest in this unique language is maintained by a small but dedicated community of programmers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Linoleum (programming language)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
