Afnix (formerly known as Aleph) is a multi-threaded functional programming
language with dynamic symbol bindings that support the object oriented
paradigm. Afnix features a state of the art runtime engine that supports
both 32 and 64 bits platforms. Afnix comes with a rich set of libraries
that are designed to be platform independent.
The Afnix engine is written in C++ and provides runtime compatibility with
it. Such compatibility includes the ability to instantiate C++ classes,
use virtual methods and raise or catch exceptions. A comprehensive API has
been designed to ease the integration of foreign libraries.
- Builtin objects
- Functional programming
- Object oriented
- Multi-threaded engine
- condition objects.
The GNUstep Base library implements the Foundation portion of the OpenStep
specification, jointly developed by NeXT and Sun. It aims to provide
compatibility with extensions added by Apple's implementation of this standard:
Cocoa. The Foundation framework provides the standard library for Objective-C,
including collections, operating system interfaces, and so on.

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.
Awka is an open-source implementation of the AWK programming language.
Awka is not an interpreter like Gawk, Mawk or Nawk, but instead it converts
the program to ANSI-C, then compiles this using gcc or a native C compiled
to create a binary executable. This means you must have an ANSI C compiler
present on your system for Awka to work.
Mosh is a free and fast interpreter for Scheme as specified in the R6RS.
R6RS is the latest revision of the Scheme standard; the current release
of Mosh supports all the features of R6RS.
Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute
bytecode for dynamic languages.
Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various
stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP,
Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator.
BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable Java source interpreter with object
scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell dynamically executes
standard Java syntax and extends it with common scripting conveniences such as
loose types, commands, and method closures like those in Perl and JavaScript.
C'Dent is a new Acmeist programming language for writing portable modules.
It is based on the computer programming principle known as H.O.P.E.

Ceylon is a new programming language that's deeply influenced by Java,
designed by people who are unapologetic fans of Java. It's a language
designed specifically for writing large programs in teams.
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.
