GIMLI ROOT README Gimli is an interpreter, written in Haskell, for the Genetics Information Manipulation Language, a domain-specific language designed to make working with genetics-related data sets easier. The language was part of a short-lived research project that, unfortunately, lost its funding. The language and interpreter are both woefully incomplete. Nevertheless, I decided to put the code on GitHub, on the small chance somebody will find something useful in it. The code has been doing nothing for half a decade, so it's out of date by modern Haskell standards, and parts of it are in rough shape. It does build, however, on recent releases of GHC (6.12.3 works fine, for example). I don't expect to work on the project again. If you find anything in it useful, great -- but I can't offer support. To build the project, see the README in the gimli/ subdirectory. Sparse user documentation can be found in the user-guide/ directory. It's in LaTeX format; run "make" to compile it into PDF format for reading. A ready-to-read version can be found here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B2Tqdso8AsFNYzRiMjQxMWUtZDQwNC00ODljLTlhNDItOGRkNDU5NTE3OTJi&hl=en_US -- Tom Moertel <tmoertel@gmail.com> 2011-03-26
