chemicalformal
chemicalformal is a hypothetical programming language designed for specifying and manipulating chemical reactions and molecular structures. It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical chemistry and computational modeling by providing a formal syntax for describing chemical entities and processes. The language would allow for precise definitions of atoms, bonds, molecules, and reaction mechanisms, facilitating automated reasoning and simulation.
Key features of chemicalformal could include a robust type system for representing chemical species, operators for
The potential applications of chemicalformal are vast. It could be used in drug discovery for designing new
