| 370 | <para><application>Cayenne</application> is a simple(?) functional

|

| 1103 |
|
---|
| 1104 | <para><application>Lua</application> is a powerful light-weight
|
---|
| 1105 | programming language designed for extending applications. It is also
|
---|
| 1106 | frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. It is free
|
---|
| 1107 | software. <application>Lua</application> combines simple procedural
|
---|
| 1108 | syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative
|
---|
| 1109 | arrays and extensible semantics. It is dynamically typed, interpreted
|
---|
| 1110 | from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage
|
---|
| 1111 | collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid
|
---|
| 1112 | prototyping. A fundamental concept in the design of
|
---|
| 1113 | <application>Lua</application> is to provide meta-mechanisms for
|
---|
| 1114 | implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly
|
---|
| 1115 | in the language. For example, although <application>Lua</application> is
|
---|
| 1116 | not a pure object-oriented language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for
|
---|
| 1117 | implementing classes and inheritance. <application>Lua</application>'s
|
---|
| 1118 | meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the language small,
|
---|
| 1119 | while allowing the semantics to be extended in unconventional ways.
|
---|
| 1120 | Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of
|
---|
| 1121 | <application>Lua</application>. <application>Lua</application> is a
|
---|
| 1122 | language engine that you can embed into your application. This means
|
---|
| 1123 | that, besides syntax and semantics, it has an API that allows the
|
---|
| 1124 | application to exchange data with <application>Lua</application> programs
|
---|
| 1125 | and also to extend <application>Lua</application> with C functions. In
|
---|
| 1126 | this sense, it can be regarded as a language framework for building
|
---|
| 1127 | domain-specific languages. <application>Lua</application> is implemented
|
---|
| 1128 | as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles
|
---|
| 1129 | unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are
|
---|
| 1130 | simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost. The result
|
---|
| 1131 | is a fast language engine with small footprint, making it ideal in
|
---|
| 1132 | embedded systems too.</para>

|

| 1552 | Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language which emphasizes the

---|
| 1553 | production of robust software. Its syntax is keyword-oriented in the
|

| 1554 | ALGOL and Pascal tradition. Eiffel is strongly statically typed, with

---|
| 1555 | automatic memory management (typically implemented by garbage
|

| 1556 | collection). Distinguishing characteristics of Eiffel include Design by
|
---|
| 1557 | contract (DbC), liberal use of inheritance including multiple
|
---|
| 1558 | inheritance, a type system handling both value and reference semantics,
|
---|
| 1559 | and generic classes. Eiffel has a unified type system—all types in
|
---|
| 1560 | Eiffel are classes, so it is possible to create subclasses of the basic
|
---|
| 1561 | classes such as INTEGER. Eiffel has operator overloading, including the

| 2076 | different types of languages including common scripting languages such as
|
---|
| 2077 | <application>Perl</application>, <application>Python</application>,
|
---|
| 2078 | <application>Tcl</application>/<application>Tk</application> and

|
---|
| 2085 | <application>Guile</application>, <application>MzScheme</application>)
|
