TermsAndConcepts: Programming Languages
!EMMA is mainly written in object-oriented Perl. Perl is an iterpreted language which is commonly used for building web-applications. From our point of view the major strengths of perl are string processing, databse accessibility and web-applications, but it lacks structured data-types and number crunching capabilities. EMMA relies on numerous third party perl modules to complement this.
