The bubble sort algorithm is a relatively
slow sort algorithm (time proportional to quantity^2, while most
sorting is quantity*log(quantity)), and programs written in the
Bubble language can be expected to be similarly slow.
Programs
written in Bubble consist of a data file and a rules file
determining how the data is manipulated. Rules tend to be
gramatically correct English. An example rule would be 'If this
line is greater than the next line then swap this line with the
next line.'
