Lua Description
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.

Component Pascal
Component Pascal is a general purpose language in the tradition Oberon, Modula-2 and Pascal. It has the following key features: block structure, modularity and static typing with strong type-checking (also across module boundaries), type extension using methods, dynamic loading modules and garbage collection. Component Pascal is an object-oriented language because it supports type extension. An object is a variable in an abstract data type that contains private data (its state), and the procedures that operate on it. Extensible records are used to declare abstract data types. Component Pascal covers the majority of terms in object-oriented languages using the established vocabulary for imperative languages to reduce the number of notions related concepts. Component Pascal is a component-oriented language. It has complete type safety and requires a dynamic object model.

IronPython
IronPython, an open-source implementation for the Python programming language, is tightly integrated with.NET. IronPython is compatible with.NET and Python libraries. Other.NET languages can also use Python code. With Python Tools for Visual Studio, you can have a more interactive.NET/Python development experience. IronPython, a great addition to.NET that gives Python developers the power of.NET, is a great addition to.NET. IronPython is also available to existing.NET developers. It can be used as a fast, expressive scripting language for writing, testing, and embedding new applications. The CLR is an excellent platform for creating programming languages. The DLR makes it even better for dynamic languages. The.NET (base library, presentation foundation, and so on) is a great tool for developers. Developers have access to a lot of functionality and power through the.NET (base class library, presentation foundation, etc.) IronPython uses Python syntax, standard libraries, and your Python code will need updating accordingly.

AutoHotkey
Define hotkeys on the keyboard and mouse, remap buttons or keys, and create autocorrect-like replacements. It's easy to create simple hotkeys in just a few lines. AutoHotkey, a free and open-source scripting language, allows users to create simple to complex scripts for a variety of tasks, such as auto-clicking, macros, form fillers, and macros. AutoHotkey comes with a number of easy-to-learn commands that are suitable for beginners. This scripting language is perfect for experienced developers who want to quickly prototype and create small projects. AutoHotkey allows you to automate any desktop task. It is small, fast, and runs right out of the box. It's also free, open-source (GNU GPLv2) and beginner-friendly. AutoHotkey's simple syntax allows you to concentrate on the task at hand and not on every technical detail. It supports not only the popular imperative-procedural paradigm, but also object-oriented and command-based programming.

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.
