GTK-server enables access for shellscripts & interpreted programming languages to apps using either GTK 1.x or 2.x.

GTK-server project is a standalone binary, which is able to communicate by a 2-way pipe or by a TCP/UDP port. The script invokes this binary, sets up a pipe or a TCP/UDP connection and prints the GTK call in plain text to the pipe or socket. The GTK-server then sends information back which can be used in the program or script.

Below a summary of advantages when using the GTK-server:

- No need to learn C or C++, you can stick to your favorite programming language
- No need to hack the source of existing programming languages to realize GUI programming
- High flexibility in creating GUIs, e.g. not limited to dialogs
- Full GTK API available, the user can extend the gtk-server.cfg file by himself
- Access to both GTK 1.x and GTK 2.x
- Convenient GTK test tool, easy to learn GTK programming.

ENSps project is a new programming system developed on Mono, Gtk# and Boo Scripting Language.

The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level scripting language implemented in Java. Hecl Programming Language is intended to be small, extensible, extremely flexible, and easy to learn and use.

Hecl is intended as a complement to the Java programming language, not a replacement. As such, it tries to do well what Java doesnt, and leaves those tasks to Java for which it is best suited.

Hecl aims to be a very immediate language - you can pick it up and start doing useful things with it quickly. It is also meant to be easy to learn. Where Java is verbose and rigid, Hecl is forgiving and quick to write. For instance, System.out.println("Hello World"); vs puts "Hello World" - 41 keystrokes (shifted letters count double) versus 22. Hecl is built to "scale down".

This makes Hecl ideal for large applications written in Java that would like to provide a user friendly scripting interface, rather than, say, a clunky XML based configuration system.

Hecl is also a small language with a minimal core. The idea is to provide only whats necessary in the language itself, and as needed, add in extensions for specific tasks.

Core Hecl is small enough to run on my Nokia 3100 cell phone as a J2ME application, presenting the interesting possibility of writing scripts, or at some point, maybe even scripting entire applications, for devices running embedded Java. As an example, you can try this MIDlet: Hecl.jar Hecl.jad

Funky is an embeddable interpreter and programming language.
When was Fnky created?
The very first version of Funky was created during my daughters nap on a snowy sunday afternoon. It was slightly refined one evening while my daughter and my wife were both sleeping and I was rocking the babys "cozy" with my foot (as I am doing now). The initial programming therefore took about 90 minutes, whereas a bit of fine-tuning and turning the original parser/interpreter into a parser/interpreter with two phases (parsing and interpreting) took another two hours or so.
Why was Funky created?
The original idea wasnt mine: at work, a colleague needed a functional, embeddable programming language and created one from scratch. It took him a few days to do so, but he wrote the parser and the scanner by hand. I heard about his little language and thought it might be a nice idea to have one of those in the free world.
Also, as a personal challenge, I decided I should be able to write one of those in much less time that a few days, but using the right tools. Hence, one sunday afternoon I took my laptop computer and started typing. I decided to use Boost.Spirit to write the parser: I had already read the documentation once while doing some research for the Jail programming language and found it a pretty good framework to build a parser one. 90 minutes later, I had the first working version of a Funky interpreter (but it wasnt embeddable yet and didnt split the parsing and interpreting phases).
So, what exactly is Funky?
As stated, Funky is a tiny, embeddable programming language with almost unlimited extending capabilities. It presents itself as a single class which contains the entire interpreter. Two versions of this class exist: Funky::Funky, which is a floating-point version, and Funky::Groovy, which is an integer version. You can install your own functions in the language as long as your functions take a vector of the built-in type of the interpreter as return an instance of that built-in type (or a vector of those).
Funky is a functional programming language. As such, it treats everything as functions and those functions handle only one type: double in the case of Funky::Funky or int in the case of Funky::Groovy.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for GCC 4.x by fixing a small error in the declaration of a variable.
- It also comes with more documentation on how to build Funky.

The Squirrel programming language 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).
squirrels syntax is similar to C/C++/Java etc... but the language has a very dynamic nature like python/Lua etc...
local array=[1,2,3,{a=10,b="string"}];
foreach (i,val in array)
{
::print("the type of val is"+typeof val);
}
