ICI is a C-like, high level language originally developed by Tim Long and placed into the public domain. ICI marries C's expression syntax, control structures and overall feel, with a dynamic, garbage collected, object-based, data model. Version 4 incorporates numerous performance enhancements, refinements to existing features and new features including native support for threads, a cleaner, more well defined API for extension module authors and those embedding ICI within other programs, and new documentation that is superior to that provided in previous releases. ICI is typically used as a scripting-like language in the fashion of Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, TCL and other such languages. ICI can be called from C and the language itself can be extended allowing applications to provide domain specific functions, types and operators for use in their ICI programs. Embedding within applications allows application authors to make use of ICI's efficient object system which provides many useful facilities. ICI is in the public domain, there is no copyright on it.

HuC is a PC Engine C compiler. It can create ROMs (hucard) or CD images and is bundled with an assembler and all kinds of libraries. You can ouput text, scrolls, make sound, control CD, handle sprites and tiles, and more.

Io is small prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).

Kawa is a full Scheme implementation written in Java. With Kawa you can access Java objects, methods, fields and classes within your Scheme code. Scheme functions and files are compiled into optimized Java byte-code, allowing you to write Java applications, applets, classes, and servlets in Scheme.

Haskell-mode is a major Emacs mode for editing Haskell source code. It provides syntax highlighting and automatic indentation and comes with inf-haskell which allows interaction with an inferior Haskell interactive loop such as the one of Hugs or GHCi. Note that if you want to use haskell-mode under XEmacs, you should install editors/xemacs-packages instead.

These are bindings to a Lua library for Ada. The gpr file is written for the version of Lua that is default on the system that builds the port. (see Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk) There is no documentation available, but two examples with sources are built and installed for illustration.

Awk scans input files for specified patterns and can perform an associated action when a line of the file matches the pattern. This is the One True version of awk described in "The AWK Programming Language" by Al Aho, Brian Kernighan, and Peter Weinberger (Addison-Wesley, 1988, ISBN 0-201-07981-X).

NBC (Next Byte Codes) is a programming language for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT product. NBC's syntax is based on assembler programming languages, so experienced assembler programmers (or just about any programmers) should find it very easy to get started with. Even if you aren't an experienced programmer, NBC is relatively easy to learn.

nhc98 is a fully-fledged compiler for Haskell 98, the standard lazy functional programming language. Written in Haskell, it is small and very portable, and aims to produce small executables that run in small amounts of memory. It comes with extensive tool support for automatic compilation, foreign language interfacing, heap and time profiling, tracing, and debugging.

This module extends Try::Tiny to add support for retries. Try::Tiny provides bare bones try/catch statements that are designed to minimize common mistakes done with eval blocks (for instance assuming that $@ is set to a true value on error, or clobbering previous values of $@, and NOTHING else.
