Euclid is a general-purpose programming language created by Bob Harper and Paul Hudak at Yale University. It is named after the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. The language is based on the Functional programming paradigm and supports lazy evaluation, higher-order functions, and garbage collection. The language was designed to be easy to learn for students and to be suitable for writing large programs. It has a simple syntax and a powerful type system. Euclid also has a rich set of libraries for various tasks such as working with matrices, solving differential equations, and creating graphical user interfaces. Euclid is a statically typed language, which means that all variables must be declared with a type before they can be used. The type system is very expressive and allows for a wide range of type annotations. Euclid also supports type inference, which means that the type of a variable can be automatically deduced from the context in which it is used. Euclid has a strong emphasis on software engineering principles. It is possible to write programs in Euclid that are very readable and maintainable. The language also supports various software development tools such as version control, documentation generators, and unit testing frameworks. Euclid is an open source language that is released under the Apache License 2.0.
