A modern programming language, designed to be simple and easy to learn.
Scriptol is a Modern programming language, designed to be simple and easy to learn, allowing new users ready to program in some hours. The programming time is largely decreased.
Scriptol is object-oriented, xml-oriented, extensible, universal, uses C++, PHP or Java APIs, and GTK for graphical user interface. It is universal, that means it is convenient for scripting, to build applications or to make dynamic web pages.
Free scriptol interpreter and compilers are currently available for Windows and Unix.
Features of Scriptol
Scriptol is :
objectively modern: it has been designed according to seven rules for Simplicity, safety, and doesnt carry ancient obsolete syntax.
object-oriented, even simple scalar as int, or literal as 123, are objects and have methods.
typed: the compiler can check for content and type of variables, that is not possible with usually untyped scripting languages.
natural: types are not based on computers hardware but on humans concepts or mathematical sets: these are text, number, integer, real, etc...
powerful and safe: new control structures has been introduced with scriptol.
Examples:
- composite if, that is both an if statement and a switch case with any kind of values.
- while let, that protects from infinite loop.
- for .. in array, or for .. in a..b, the simplest way to express ranges.
simple: no symbols as -> or ::, just a dot in any case.
Adding 1 to x is just written: x + 1, and not x += 1.
No memory management required, executables have a Garbage collector.
C++ compatible: you have just to Link C++ object files or library files, and use the functions they hold, no any extension required to write!
For example, you have just to add the GTK import libraries in the configuration file of a scriptol source to use the GTK user interface...
PHP compatible: you can program web pages in Scriptol, your code is converted to Php and all Php functions may be used. you can free download Scriptol to PHP for Linux 6.2 now.
