Open Source Programming Languages

MANOOL is a practical, homoiconic, dynamic, multiparadigm general-purpose programming language with a functional core. It has high expressive power but is implemented in less than 10K LOC of optimized, idiomatic C++11 for native run-time environments. MANOOL is meant to compare and compete directly with Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl, and Tcl, although incidentally it has some combination of unusual features. Example: {{extern "manool.org.18/std/0.2/all"} in WriteLine[Out; "Hello, world!"]} Explicitly stated design priorities of MANOOL: 1. implementation simplicity; 2. expressive power, usability, and general utility, attention to syntax and semantics details; 3. correctness, security, and overall quality of implementation, run-time reliability; 4. run-time performance and scalability; 5. consistency, completeness, orthogonality of features, and language elegance, conceptual economy and purity. MANOOL strives to satisfy all of the above goals, better than existing alternatives!
