Sheerpower

Designed for Business Solutions

Sheerpower is not for everyone.

Mainstream programming languages such as C and C++ were designed primarily to develop compilers, device drivers, and operating systems. In contrast, Sheerpower was designed to rapidly develop highly scalable business solutions.

In addition, because of its simple design and rich set of high-level features, Sheerpower works well for developing applications that require extensive data manipulation.

Easy to Learn

Professional programmers learn Sheerpower in a matter of hours and master it in a few weeks. It quickly becomes a lifestyle where you rapidly implement business solutions.
Reduces Development Costs

Sheerpower greatly reduces the total cost of project completion through rapid development and interactive debugging.
High Scalability

Sheerpower is designed to handle the development of large-scale solutions. Code is compiled at rates of more than 500,000 source line per second.
Perfect Precision Math

To best support financial computations, "penny rounding" math errors are eliminated with Sheerpower. Unlike other programming languages, simple math always gives the perfect result.

Where languages such as C and C++ were designed to develop compilers, device drivers, operating systems, etc. Sheerpower was specifically designed to develop business applications.

Sheerpower is for those who must design, build, and maintain mission critical business applications. Sheerpower language elements are, for the most part, very high-level. You do not need to worry about things like buffer overflows, memory allocations/deallocations, memory leaks, memory garbage collection and other esoteric internal considerations. Instead, Sheerpower is highly optimized at run-time, allowing programmers to focus on solving the business problems at hand and not having to worry about the details of how the code works internally.

To achieve this goal, Sheerpower has the following characteristics:

It is a language that can be gradually learned, is easy to program and easy to maintain
It makes developers fast and development fun
Greatly reduces the total cost of project completion through rapid development and debugging
Its code reads like a crafted story using common English names wherever possible
Built-in database operations and a built-in high-speed database engine is included
Eliminates penny rounding errors using built-in "Perfect Precision" patented methods
Memory safe. No garbage collection. Automated runtime optimized memory handling
Operates on CSV and other delimited files as database tables (clusters)
Clusters can be searched and updated millions of times per second
Compiling code at rates of more than 250,000 source lines per second
All code is designed to work with future releases without any need for change
Optimized runtime engine designed for millions of complex operations per second
Language constructs designed to help programmers focus on business rules
Highly optimized fully integrated memory management system -- no garbage collecting needed
Bundled with robust program debugging features and integrated IDE
Also interfaces to standard IDE's such as Visual Studio Code
Royalty free licensing for both individual and commercial use
Database operations are immune to "SQL injection" and other common hacks
Comes with an integrated webserver for the rapid development of SaaS solutions
Built-in webserver handles thousands of transactions per second
Built-in database engine reads records at over 100,000 per second with full record-level locking
Very small footprint. Its installer is under 30 MB and it fully installs in under two minutes.
Natural one-origin for arrays and positional results (an array of 3 values is indexed by 1,2,3)
Provides both statically and dynamically typed variables
Provides consistent performance -- no memory garbage collection disruptions -- no "stop the world" events

With Sheerpower you can easily develop fancy GUI and Internet-based applications without needing a lengthy training course or having to constantly reference an arcane manual.

Sheerpower is free to download, free to distribute and royalty-free, even for commercial applications.
Sheerpower training classes and 24/7 support are available.
