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. Please contact the GNUstep maintainers at <discuss-gnustep@gnu.org> in case of questions and offers of help.

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. (Hack Once, Please Everyone)

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.
