. Its syntax is almost identical to that of the Interactive Data Language (IDL).

Here are some key features of "Fawlty Language":
· all language elements are supported
· multithreaded operators
· array operations use MMX/SSE/SSE2, if available
· module profiling
· line profiling
· about 300 library functions (more or less usable)
· true-color (24 bit) direct graphics devices: X, WIN, PS, PDF, Z
· run-time performance: for many programs, FL is faster than IDL (eg. the empty loop is three times faster in FL :-)
