Review text

The authors present a programming language Jasp. The Jasp language is mainly designed to be a procedural function-based language which is flexible and intuitive to express formulas, functions and tentative programs. The object-oriented languages are accepted to be good at bundling functions, well-organized knowledge and notions. The authors design a mechanism for constructing objects using previously written Jasp functions. For implementation of the proposed language the scripting language Pnuts is modified. Many programs, functions and subroutines for statistical computations are written in the Java language and Jasp can use them directly. If programs are written in traditional compiler languages, such as Fortran, C and C++, then Jasp can use these programs relatively easy by using the Java Native Interface mechanism.
