Dear all, I am glad to announce in this mailing list that the lastest version of a new scripting language has come out.
Welcome to try it out. Comments are welcome. Suggestions are appreciated. ======================= Here are some details: ======================= Design Goals: 1. Simple and efficient. 2. Integrate nice features of other languages whenever possible. Implementation language: C++ with STL. Designer: Fu Limin Email: fu [dot] limin [dot] tao [at] gmail.com Key features have been supported: 1. Dynamic-typing variables, supporting complex data structures such as array/list, hash/dictionary and matrix etc. 2. Object-oriented programming ( multi-inheritance not supported yet ). 3. Basic string regular expression matching. 4. Automatic garbage collection capable of collecting cyclically referenced objects. 5. Numeric data types: complex number and matrix, and their basic operations. 6. Convenient namespacing and dynamic creation of subroutines and classes. 7. Dynamic loading of C/C++ modules ( not complete, but enough for playing with it ^_^ ). 8. An embedded tiny XML parser. ToBeDone: More string operations, multi-inheritance of classes, improvements on C/C++ module loading, more on regular expression matching and possible optimizations etc. Documentation: http://taoscript.sourceforge.net/brief_tao.php Sample scripts: http://taoscript.sourceforge.net/sample.php Download: http://taoscript.sourceforge.net/downloads.php Best regards, Limin -- Homepage for Tao Language: http://taoscript.sourceforge.net Tao Language project at sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/taoscript -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
