[Scilab-users] online interpreter for Scilab

[Fabrice Le Fessant]

Hi,

   During the FUI project Richelieu that just ended in October 2015, Inria
and OCamlPro developed a small Scilab interpreter in OCaml (its main
purpose was to test the parser of Scilint, a style-checker for Scilab also
developed during the project). A demonstrator of this interpreter is
available on the following page:

http://sciweb.ocamlpro.com/

Sciweb can be used to write and execute simple examples of Scilab code
directly inside the browser, without the need to install Scilab on the
computer. The set of available primitives is of course incomplete, and much
slower (all computations are done in Javascript, to which OCaml is
compiled). Nevertheless, it can be interesting in specific contextes, in
particular education, where computations are usually simpler and shorter,
with the need for fewer primitivies. Several plotting functions are
available too.

The OCaml code is open-source and available on Github:

http://github.com/OCamlPro/scilint/

and it is thus possible to add new primitives quite easily.

All feedback is welcome !
