Less Description
Leaner Style sheets, or Less, is a backward-compatible language extension for CSS. This document contains the official documentation for Less.js, the JavaScript utility that converts your Less style to CSS styles. It is easy to learn because Less looks exactly like CSS. It only adds a few useful features to the CSS language. This is why it is so easy to learn. Mixins allow you to include ("mix in") properties from different rule-sets into another. You can use nesting in conjunction with cascading or instead.

PureScript
PureScript is an entirely functional, strongly-typed programming language that compiles JavaScript. It allows developers to create robust web applications, mobile apps, and web servers using functional programming techniques. PureScript has features like algebraic data types and pattern matching. It also offers row polymorphism. The language emphasizes pure functions and strong static typing to ensure code reliability and maintainability. Developers can compile PureScript into readable JavaScript to facilitate seamless integration with existing JavaScript codes. The ecosystem includes a large collection of libraries, excellent tools, and editor support, including instant rebuilds. A vibrant community offers a variety of learning resources including the PureScript book which provides practical projects for beginners.

QML
QML is a declarative language which allows user interfaces to describe themselves in terms of their visual components, and how they interact with each other. It is a highly readable language, which allows components to be interconnected dynamically. Additionally, components can be reused and customized within a user-interface. Designers and developers can create fluid animated user interfaces using QtQuick. They also have the option to connect these interfaces with any back-end C++ libraries. QML is both a programming language and a specification of user interfaces. It allows designers and developers to create visually appealing, performant, and fluidly animated applications. QML is a declarative, JSON-like syntax that is highly readable and supports imperative JavaScript expressions with dynamic property bindings.

ActionScript
You can add complex interactivity to your application using the ActionScript®, scripting language. It also allows you to control playback and display data. ActionScript can be added to the authoring environment using the Actions Panel, Script Window, or an external Editor. ActionScript has its own syntax rules and reserved keywords. It also lets you store and retrieve data using variables. ActionScript comes with a large built-in library of classes that allow you to create objects for many useful tasks. You don't have to know every ActionScript element before you can start scripting. You can build scripts using simple actions if you have a goal in mind. Both ActionScript and JavaScript have their roots in the ECMA-262 international standard for ECMAScript. Developers who are familiarized with JavaScript will find ActionScript familiar. Animate offers more than one ActionScript version to meet the requirements of different types of developers.

JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), is a lightweight format for data-interchange. It is easy to read and write. It is easy for machines and humans to generate and parse. It is based upon a subset the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 (3rd Edition - Dec 1999). JSON is a text format which is completely language-independent but still uses conventions familiar to programmers of the C family of languages. This includes C++, C# JavaScript, JavaScript, Perl and Python. These properties make JSON a great data-interchange language.
JSON is built upon two structures:
1. A collection of name/value pair. This can be realized in many languages as an object, record or struct.
2. An ordered list of values. This can be expressed in most languages as an array, vector or list.
These are universal data structures. They are supported by almost all modern programming languages in one way or another.
