Another IDL-like program is Yorick.

ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/yorick/yorick-ad.html

I believe it is a little more optimized than ANA, and has lots of
great array indexing methods. I think the reason these�"similar"
languages don't take off is that there's no established code base like
the Astronomy Library for IDL. They would need a translator or a
compatibility mode.
