Skill

A somewhat peculiar blend between {Franz-Lisp} and {C}, with a

large set of various {CAD} primitives. It is owned by

{Cadence Design Systems} and has been used in their CAD

frameworks since 1985. It's an {extension language} to the

CAD framework (in the same way that {Emacs-Lisp} extends {GNU

Emacs}), enabling you to automate virtually everything that

you can do manually in for example the graphic editor. Skill

accepts {C}-syntax, fun(a b), as well as {Lisp} syntax, (fun a

b), but most users (including Cadence themselves) use the

C-style.
