*C/C++ interpreter

Ch supports 1999 ISO C Professional C99 and C++ classes. Ch supports many
industry standards with over 8,000 functions including POSIX, socket/Winsock,
X11/Motif, OpenGL, ODBC, C LAPACK, GTK+, Win32, and CGI. Programs can also
be developed and executed using a user-friendly ChIDE.

* Shell programming and cross-platform scripting

Ch shell is C compatible shell while C-shell (csh) is a C like shell. Ch is an
interpretive implementation of C, similar to Unix/MS-DOS shells. Ch in
Windows includes over 100 commonly-used Unix commands for portable shell
programming. Ch can also be used as a login shell just like sh, csh and ksh.
Ch bridges the gap between the C language and shell languages. With its
built-in string type and many enhanced scripting features, Ch is an
alternative to other scripting languages for automating repetitive tasks,
regression test, and hardware testing.

* Numerical computing

Ch numerical extensions are the best choice for numerical computing in the C/C++ domain. Ch has built-in generic mathematical functions and computational arrays for linear algebra and matrix computations.
*Interface with binary C/C++ libraries

Ch SDK can easily integrate the existing C/C++ libraries as part of Ch
sripting module. Functions and classes in static or dynamical libraries can be
invoked in a Ch script file or Ch command shell.

* Embeddable scripting

Ch is easy and simple for embedded scripting. Embedded Ch allows users to embed Ch into C/C++ application programs and hardware as a scripting engine. It is ideal for open-architecture application integration. With Embedded Ch, C/C++ applications can be extended with all features of Ch. It allows execution of C/C++ scripts generated dynamically. Embedded Ch supports multi-threading and debug. It has a small footprint. The pointer and time deterministic nature of the C language provides a perfect interface with hardware in real-time systems.
