'''SVL''' or '''Scientific Vector Language''' is a [programming language](/source/programming_language) created by [Chemical Computing Group](/source/Chemical_Computing_Group). It was first released in 1994. SVL is the built-in command, [scripting](/source/Scripting_language) and application development language of [MOE](/source/Molecular_Operating_Environment). It is a "chemistry aware" computer [programming language](/source/programming_language) with over 1,000 specific functions for analyzing and manipulating chemical structures and related molecular objects. SVL is a concise, [high-level language](/source/high-level_language) whose programs are typically 10 times smaller than their equivalent when compared to [C](/source/C_(programming_language)) or [Fortran](/source/Fortran). SVL [source code](/source/source_code) is compiled to a "[byte code](/source/byte_code)" representation, which is then executed by the base [run-time environment](/source/run-time_environment) making SVL programs inherently portable across different computer hardware and [operating system](/source/operating_system)s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://openwetware.org/wiki/Abhishek_Tiwari:Chemical_Informatics_Toolkits|title=Abhishek Tiwari:Chemical Informatics Toolkits|publisher=OpenWetWare|accessdate=28 July 2016}}  50px This article contains quotations from this source, which is available under an [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Generic (CC BY-SA 2.5) license].</ref>
