Ruutufi
Ruutufi is a fictional domain-specific programming language designed for modeling, simulating, and formally verifying grid-based systems, such as urban traffic networks and autonomous robot grids. It emphasizes clear syntax and formal semantics to support both rapid prototyping and rigorous analysis.
The name combines ruutu, a Finnish word meaning square or tile, with fi, signaling its place in
Development and history: Ruutufi was proposed in the early 2020s by researchers at the GridLab consortium and
Language features: The language is statically typed and uses a compact, C-like syntax augmented with domain-specific
Example use: A simple Ruutufi model can define a two-dimensional grid, declare start and goal tiles, specify
Usage and reception: In practice, Ruutufi has seen interest primarily in academic settings and puzzle design
