    CoffeeScript Reviews
    JavaScript's beautiful heart lies beneath the awkward Java-esque patina. CoffeeScript is an attempt at exposing the best parts of JavaScript in an easy way. CoffeeScript's golden rule is "It is just JavaScript." The code is compiled one-by-one into the equivalent JS and there is no interpreter at runtime. CoffeeScript can be used to seamlessly import any JavaScript library (and vice versa). The compiled output is easy to read and can be printed. It runs as fast as handwritten JavaScript. Node 7.6+ can run most modern JavaScript features, which means that Node can run CoffeeScript output without any additional processing. This list is not complete and may exclude versions of Node that support older features behind flags. Please refer to Node.green for more details. To see what your browser supports, you can run the tests in your browser.

    ZenScript Reviews
    ZenScript was created from MineTweaker, where a simple language was needed to allow users to execute simple commands without any programming knowledge by following the tutorials. MineTweaker originally had a one-line scripting system that was parsed, but it became apparent that it wasn't flexible. A simple parsed language, therefore, was created. This parsed language was quite efficient but inefficient because each value was wrapped up into its own object. ZenScript supports mixed typed and non-typed behavior. The compile will infer types where possible, and exhibit typeless behaviour when the type is effectively unknowable. In almost all cases, the type can be determined and the execution is performed at native Java speed. Types can be enforced and documented since they exist.

    Unlambda Reviews
    Unlambda can be described as a programming language. There is nothing extraordinary there. Unlambda's uniqueness is its unexpected intersection of two marginal languages. Functional programming languages are a group that includes Scheme (a Lisp dialect). This means that the primary object that is manipulated by the language, and indeed the only one for Unlambda, is the function. Unlambda, on the other hand, uses a functional approach in programming. Functions are the only objects it can manipulate. Each function takes a function and returns it. Unlambda has many built-in functions, including a binary "apply", which returns a function. The most important are the K and S combinators. Unlambda doesn't have variables so user-definable functions can be created but not saved or named.

    BASIC Reviews
    BASIC (Beginners' All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a group of high-level, general-purpose programming languages that are designed to be easy to use. BASIC was initially designed to support simple mathematical operations. Matrix arithmetic was supported from its first implementation as a batch-language, and character strings were added in 1965. BASIC was born out of a larger movement towards time-sharing. Some dialects of BASIC support matrices and matrix-based operations that can be used to solve a set of simultaneous linear algebraic problems. These dialects directly supported matrix operations like assignment, addition, multiplicand (of compatible matrix types) and evaluation of a determinate. In the 1990s, BASIC's popularity declined as more powerful computers were introduced and advanced programming languages (such as Pascal or C) were made available.

    XSharp (X#) Reviews
    X# is an open source development language for.NET that is based on xBase. There are many flavors available, including Core, Visual Objects and Vulcan.NET. xBase++ is Harbour, Foxpro and more. Roslyn, an open-source architecture that powers the Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft C# compilers, has been used to build X#. A new options page has been added (tools/options/text edit/X#). This allows you to control the suggestions that the editor will make in the "general code completion list". After a colon or a dot, code completion will show namespaces and types as well as members. Code completion after AS or IS will display types and namespaces. Several preprocessor fixes have been made to make the preprocessor compatible with FoxPro++ and Xbase++. We also added #if and #stdout command. To improve compatibility with Visual Objects and FoxPro, we made several small changes to the RDD system.

    Tcl is a simple programming language. You can write Tcl programs in a matter of hours if you have ever programmed. This page will give you a brief overview of Tcl's main features. This page will give you a quick overview of the main features of Tcl. You should be able to write simple Tcl scripts by yourself. However, we recommend that your consult one or more Tcl books. Each Tcl command is composed of one or more words separated with spaces. This example shows four words: expr (20 +), 10, and 10. The name of a command is the first word, and the arguments are the words after it. Tcl commands are composed of words. However, different commands treat their arguments in a different way. The expr command treats all arguments as one arithmetic expression and returns the result as string. The expr command doesn't consider the division into words.

    PowerShell Reviews
    PowerShell is a cross platform task automation and configuration management framework. It consists of a command-line shell as well as a scripting language. PowerShell, unlike other shells that accept and return text, is built on top the.NET Common Language Runtime. (CLR) and accepts and returns.NET object. This fundamental change introduces new tools and methods of automation. PowerShell cmdlets can deal with objects, rather than traditional command-line interfaces. An object is structured information, which is more than the string of characters displayed on the screen. Command output always contains additional information that you can access if you require it. You'll notice a difference in how text-processing tools behave in PowerShell if you've previously used them to process data. To extract specific information, you don’t usually need text-processing software. You can directly access parts of the data by using standard PowerShell object syntax.

    Racket Reviews
    Racket is an all-purpose multi-paradigm language. It is a descendant and modern dialect of Lisp. It is a platform that allows developers to create domain-specific languages and general-purpose programming languages. Racket's language core includes features like macros, modules and lexical closures. It also has delimited continuations (fluid variables), green threads and OS threads. The language comes with primitives such as event space and custodians that control resource management. This allows the language to act as an operating system by loading and managing other applications. The powerful macro system can be used to create further extensions to the language. This system, along with the module system and customized parsers, controls all aspects of the language. Racket implements most language constructs as macros.

    Prolog Reviews
    Prolog is a logic language that is associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and computational linguistics. Prolog's roots are in first-order formal logic. Unlike many other programming languages Prolog is primarily intended as a declarative language. The program logic is expressed as relations, represented by facts and rules. The computation is started by running a query on these relations. Prolog is one of the earliest logic programming languages. It remains the most popular today, with many free and commercial implementations. The language is used for natural language processing, theorem-proving, expert systems and term rewriting. Modern Prolog environments allow for the creation of graphical interfaces as well as administrative applications and networked applications.

    Lua Reviews
    Lua is an efficient, lightweight, embeddable, scripting language that is powerful and easy to use. It supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, data-driven programming and data description. Lua combines simple procedural syntax and powerful data description constructs that are based on extensible semantics and associative arrays. Lua is dynamically-typed and interprets bytecode using a register-based virtual computer. It also has automatic memory management and incremental garbage collection making it ideal for configuration and scripting as well as rapid prototyping and prototyping. Lua is well-respected for its performance. Lua is aspired to be "as fast" as other scripting languages. Multiple benchmarks have shown Lua to be the fastest language in the world of interpreted scripting. Lua is fast in benchmark programs but also in real-life. Lua has been used to write large portions of large applications.

    Scheme Reviews
    Scheme is a general-purpose programming language for computers. It is a high level language that supports operations on structured data like strings, lists, vectors, and numbers, as well as operations with more traditional data like numbers and characters. Although Scheme is often associated with symbolic applications, it has a rich set of data types that can be used to create complex control structures and a wide range of other data types. Scheme can be used to create text editors, optimize compilers and graphics packages, expert system, numerical applications, financial analysis programs, virtual reality systems, as well as operating systems, graphics, expert systems, operating systems, graphics, expert systems, operating systems, graphic packages, optimization systems, programming languages, and other types of applications. Because it is based only on a few syntactic forms, semantic concepts, and because most implementations are interactive, Scheme is easy to learn. It is difficult to fully understand Scheme.
