IRchef

IrChef is a programming language specifically designed for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). It was created to facilitate the creation of application programs for computer-aided design systems, primarily used in the aerospace and defense industries.

IrChef is a high-level language that allows users to write application programs for CAD/CAM systems. It is primarily used in systems developed by McDonnell Douglas and other aerospace companies. The language is known for its flexibility and ability to interface with various CAD/CAM systems.

IrChef is a member of the engineering languages, a subset of programming languages that are used specifically in engineering and scientific applications. IrChef was developed to meet the need for a language that could be easily used with various CAD/CAM systems, providing a high degree of portability and compatibility.

The syntax of IrChef is similar to that of other imperative programming languages, with statements and functions that can be used to create complex application programs. The language includes features such as looping statements, conditional statements, and variable declarations. IrChef also provides interfaces to various CAD/CAM systems, allowing users to easily integrate their application programs with these systems.

IrChef has been used in a number of high-profile projects, including the development of several aircraft and spacecraft systems. The language remains widely used in the aerospace and defense industries due to its simplicity and flexibility. However, its use is generally limited to specific CAD/CAM systems, and it is not widely supported or promoted outside of these industries.
