| 367 | <para><application>Cayenne</application> is a simple(?) functional

---|
| 1003 | arrays and extensible semantics. It is dynamically typed, interpreted

| 1004 | from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage

| 1005 | collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid
|
---|
| 1006 | prototyping. A fundamental concept in the design of

---|
| 1007 | <application>Lua</application> is to provide meta-mechanisms for
|
---|
| 1008 | implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly
|

| 1009 | in the language. For example, although <application>Lua</application> is

| 1014 | Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of
|
---|
| 1015 | <application>Lua</application>. <application>Lua</application> is a
|
---|
| 1016 | language engine that you can embed into your application. This means
|
---|
| 1017 | that, besides syntax and semantics, it has an API that allows the
|
---|
| 1018 | application to exchange data with <application>Lua</application> programs
|
---|
| 1019 | and also to extend <application>Lua</application> with C functions. In

| 1020 | this sense, it can be regarded as a language framework for building

|

| 1218 | Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language which emphasizes the
|
---|
| 1219 | production of robust software. Its syntax is keyword-oriented in the
|

| 1220 | ALGOL and Pascal tradition. Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with

| 1221 | automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage
|
---|
| 1222 | collection). Distinguishing characteristics of Eiffel include Design by
|
---|
| 1223 | contract (DbC), liberal use of inheritance including multiple
|
---|
| 1224 | inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
---|
| 1225 | and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types in
|
---|
| 1226 | Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the basic
|
---|
| 1227 | classes such as INTEGER. Eiffel has operator overloading, including the

|

| 1813 | counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting
|

| 1816 | modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and applications.
|
---|
| 1817 | <application>OProfile</application> is currently in alpha status; however
