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. [Jonas Jarnestrom ]. (1995-02-14)
