Free common language infrastructure software for linux

Plone Language Tool is a product which allows you to set the available languages in your Plone site.
PloneLanguageTool allows you to set the available languages in your Plone site, select various fallback mechanisms, and control the use of flags for language selection and translations.
When installed, a new Plone control panel action will allow you to select various language options, such as the default and list of allowed languages.
PloneLanguageTool is shipped with Plone beginning in version 2.1 and up.
Enhancements:
- Bug fix release included in Plone 2.5.2.

The Complex Language project is an object oriented programming language intended for scripting or rapid prototyping of applications.
The design goals were to have very few simple but powerful concepts and to be easy to use and easy to learn. The project provides a working interpreter along with a complete specification of the language.
Enhancements:
- This is the first release of the specification and the corresponding interpreter.
- The corresponding library is very poor, and there are probably still bugs in the interpreter.

CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating systems. Common UNIX Printing System has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for all Unix vendors and users.

CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced functionality.

CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers.

A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.

X Language is a new multi-syntax programming including a portable set of APIs to create console or graphical applications runnable on many platforms (UNIX/X11, Win32, ...). X Language comes with an interpreter, a compiler and a debugger.
X Language is publicly available under the GPL.
Installation
- tar -xzf xlang-0.7.1.tar.gz
- cd xlang-0.7.1
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- ./xlc calc.xc
Enhancements:
- Adding LANG/MATH specifications
- Adding SYS (basic) specifications
- Start implementing the SCR API

Objective Modula-2 programming language is a hybrid between Smalltalk and Modula-2 based on the object model and runtime of Objective-C.

The design is an example how native Cocoa/GNUstep support can be added to static imperative programming languages without implementing a bridge.

The projects scope encompasses the design of the Objective Modula-2 programming language and the implementation of a compiler to implement it. The initial compiler will generate Objective-C source code.

PerlPoint::Generator::LANGUAGE::Formatter is a Perl module that generates Formatter formatted LANGUAGE files.

METHODS

new()

Parameters:

class

The class name.

Returns: the new object.

CMU Common Lisp is a free implementation of the Common Lisp programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. CMU Common Lisp project mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard.
Main features:
- a sophisticated native-code compiler which is capable of powerful type inferences, and generates code competitive in speed with C compilers.
- generational garbage collection and multiprocessing capability on the x86 ports.
- a foreign function interface which allows interfacing with C code and system libraries, including shared libraries on most platforms, and direct access to Unix system calls.
- support for interprocess communication and remote procedure calls.
- an implementation of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, which includes multimethods and a metaobject protocol.
- a graphical source-level debugger using a Motif interface, and a code profiler.
- an interface to the X11 Window System (CLX), and a sophisticated graphical widget library (Garnet).
- programmer-extensible input and output streams.
- an Emacs-like editor implemented in Common Lisp.
- freely redistributable: free, with full source code (most of which is in the public domain) and no strings attached (and no warranty). Like the GNU/Linux and *BSD operating systems, CMUCL is maintained and improved by a team of volunteers collaborating over the Internet.
Common Lisp is well suited to large programming projects and explorative programming. The language has a dynamic semantics which distinguishes it from languages such as C and Ada.
It features automatic memory management, an interactive incremental development environment, a module system, a large number of powerful data structures, a large standard library of useful functions, a sophisticated object system supporting multiple inheritance and generic functions, an exception system, user-defined types and a macro system which allows programmers to extend the language.
Enhancements:
- A new float type EXT:DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT is supported.
- A DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT uses two DOUBLE-FLOATs to represent a number with >= 106 bits of precision (about 33 digits).
- Hash tables now support weak value, weak key- and-value, and weak key-or-value tables.
- LONG-LONG and UNSIGNED-LONG-LONG are recognized types in the C-CALL package for signed and unsigned 64-bit integers.
- The generational garbage collector has been ported to Darwin/ PPC.
- Numerous bugs and ANSI-compliance problems have been fixed.
