GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, supports a number of languages. This
port installs the C, C++, Fortran and Java front ends as gcc47, g++47,
gfortran47, and gcj47, respectively.

Defaults to:
ctype, dom, filter, hash, iconv, json, pdo, pdo_sqlite, phar, posix,
session, simplexml, sqlite3, tokenizer, xml, xmlreader and xmlwriter.
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.
PicoC is a very small C interpreter for scripting. It was originally written for
scripting a UAV's on-board flight system and it's also very suitable for other
robotic, embedded and non-embedded applications too.
Qore is a dynamically-typed, embeddabble programming
language designed for SMP scalability.
PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
(2.7.1). It has several advantages and distinct features:
- Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster
on PyPy.
- Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
space than they do in CPython.
- Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing python code. It
supports ctypes and can run popular python libraries like
twisted and django.
- Sandboxing: PyPy provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully
secure way.
- Stackless: PyPy can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing
micro-threads for massive concurrency.
- As well as other features.
Seed7 is an extensible general purpose programming language designed by Thomas
Mertes. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C/C++ and Java.
In Seed7 new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with
type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics
concept. Object orientation is used where it brings advantages and not in
places where other solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several
concepts from other programming languages, it is generally not considered a
direct descendant of any other programming language.
Major features include:
- user defined statements and operators,
- abstract data types,
- templates without special syntax,
- OO with interfaces and multiple dispatch,
- statically typed,
- interpreted or compiled,
- portable,
- runs under Linux/Unix/Windows.
SISC is an extensible Java based interpreter of the algorithmic
language Scheme. SISC uses modern interpretation techniques, and
handily outperforms all existing Java interpreters.
