Jakarta Commons Logging library. There is a great need for debugging and logging information inside of Commons components such as HTTPClient and DBCP. However, there are many logging APIs out there and it is difficult to choose among them. The Logging package is an ultra-thin bridge between different logging libraries. Commons components may use the Logging API to remove compile-time and run-time dependencies on any particular logging package, and contributors may write Log implementations for the library of their choice.

The Jakarta-ORO Java classes are a set of text-processing Java classes that provide Perl5 compatible regular expressions, AWK-like regular expressions, glob expressions, and utility classes for performing substitutions, splits, filtering filenames, etc. This library is the successor to the OROMatcher, AwkTools, PerlTools, and TextTools libraries from ORO, Inc. (www.oroinc.com). They have been donated to the Jakarta Project by Daniel Savarese (www.savarese.org), the copyright holder of the ORO libraries.

The Arena language was designed with the following main features in mind, most of which were added on top of a very C-like core to support better ad-hoc scripting: * syntax similar to ANSI C * standard library similar to ANSI C * automatic memory management * runtime polymorphism * support for exceptions * support for anonymous functions Additionally, an interpreter for the Arena language can be implemented to be very compact in terms of both source code size and memory consumption.

Modula-3 is a systems programming language that descends from Mesa, Modula-2, Cedar, and Modula-2+. It also resembles its cousins Oberon, Object Pascal, and Euclid. Modula-3 retains one of Modula-2's most successful features, the provision of explicit interfaces between modules. It adds objects and classes, exception handling, garbage collection, lightweight processes (or threads), and the isolation of unsafe features. This is the Critical Mass implementation.

PHP, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated webpages quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.

GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, supports a number of languages. This port installs the C, C++, Fortran and Java front ends as gcc48, g++48, gfortran48, and gcj48, respectively. It can be used interchangibly with the lang/gcc48 port which tracks weekly upstream snapshots whereas this port will be updated less frequently, mostly in sync with upstream releases, and will move to lang/gcc49 and later over time.

execline is a very light non-interactive scripting language, which is similar to /bin/sh. Simple shell scripts can be easily rewritten in the execline language, improving performance and memory usage. execline was designed for use in embedded systems, but works on most Unix flavors. execline features conditional loops, getopt-style option handling, filename globbing, and more. Meanwhile, its syntax is far more logical and predictable than the shell's syntax, and has no security issues.

The GCL system contains C and Lisp source files to build a Common Lisp sytem. The original KCL system was written by Taiichi Yuasa and Masami Hagiya in 1984. The AKCL system work was begun in 1987 by William Schelter and continued through 1994. In 1994 AKCL was released as GCL (GNU Common Lisp) under the GNU public library license. NOTE: GCL supports Tk bindings with Tcl 8 and Tk 8.
