About Hoc
Hoc was created in the early 1980s as part of the Unix operating system's suite of tools. It was designed to provide a simple, interactive environment for performing mathematical computations, catering to scientists and engineers who needed a quick and efficient way to handle numerical tasks.
Hoc's strengths included simplicity, ease of use, and suitability for interactive mathematical computations. Its weaknesses were limited functionality and lack of advanced features compared to more comprehensive languages. Competitors included MATLAB, Python (with libraries like NumPy), and R, which offered more extensive capabilities for scientific computing.
