recently i was looking through frshmeat.net and found this fun little language
The Squirrel Programing Language its a very small (around 6000 lines of code).
(taken from the front page)
Squirrel is a high level imperative/OO programming language, designed to be a powerful scripting tool that fits in the size, memory bandwidth, and real-time requirements of applications like games. Although Squirrel offers a wide range of features like:
Open Source zlib/libpng licence
dynamic typing
delegation
higher order functions
generators
cooperative threads(coroutines)
tail recursion
exception handling
automatic memory management (CPU bursts free; mixed approach ref counting/GC)
both compiler and virtual machine fit together in about 6k lines of C++ code.
optional 16bits characters strings
Squirrel is inspired by languages like Python,Javascript and expecially Lua(The API is very similar and the table code is based on the Lua one)
i really like how it handels objects (much better than in java)
its fun give it a shot. does anyone know if it will compile under MOS?
