Little b programming language

A programming language aimed at building modular mathematical models of biological systems. It is authored by Aneil Mallavarapu, and the program is led by Harvard University mathematician Jeremy Gunawardena.

The program was originally planned to call the language "B", which stands for biology. However, the name was already taken, thus it was named "Little b".

This programming language is based on LISP and is meant to allow modular programming to model biological systems. It will allow more flexibility to facilitate rapid change that is required to accurately capture complex biological systems.
