Description: Scientific Interface Definition Language (SIDL) compiler
 Babel is a compiler for the Scientific Interface Definition Language (SIDL),
 currently under development as a support tool for parallel simulation codes.
 .
 SIDL is in the same "phylum" as CORBA or COM, but with an eye toward future
 extension to data redistribution on massively parallel architectures.  In
 addition, because of the large amount of existing and very important
 scientific code written in FORTRAN, SIDL is designed with support for that
 language in mind.
 .
 Babel is written in Java, and currently has backends for: FORTRAN 77, C, C++,
 Java and Python.
