===About===
Ursa is a simple, functional programming language that I've been working on for awhile now. Its syntax is (at times) similar to Lisp, but instead of being list-based, it is "stream-based." Most in-built statements operate on types of data called streams. Streams are are variable-length arrays of data of a certain type.
The basic premise of ursa is to function as a very high-level abstraction layer between streams and "I/O devices." I/O devices are objects that represent locations that can be read and written using data streams; namely, the console, files, and network ports. Ursa greatly simplifies the implementation of programs that transfer data between these devices.
