Line 1: '''Snowball''' is a small string-handling [[programming language]] whose name was chosen as a tribute to the [[SNOBOL programming language]], with which it shares the concept of string patterns delivering signals that are used to control the flow of the program. The basic [[~~datatypes~~datatype]]s handled by Snowball are strings of characters, signed integers, and boolean truth values, or more simply strings, integers and booleans. Snowball's characters are either 8-bit wide, or 16-bit, depending on the mode of use. In particular, both 8-bit [[ASCII]] and 16-bit [[Unicode]] are supported. ==See also== * [[SNOBOL programing language]] * [[Stemmer algorithms]] ==External links== [http://snowball.tartarus.org/p/snowman.html homepage] [[Category:Domain-specific programming languages]]
