well if you do I can add it in and will just change the sight name, possibly with a official domain name to something to reflect this change, depending on what I can squeeze out of what's still available on the net.

I keep them on the list of programs I will write one in but haven't got around to it because it is almost as much work as the one I wrote in LISP. If someone writes them first more power to them but what essentially these will end up being is direct calls to Win32 and a bit of the programming languages structure and syntax. When I came up with the Fruit Basket idea I didn't think of this kind of language maybe we should come up with another test program that instead of displaying a graphical interface does a lot of work like looping, conditionals, functions or methods, Not really to do anything important but to show what the language is like when using it.

How about JRuby? I would also like to see ones in LUA, Delphi, and Haskell. When IronRuby is released by Microsoft, I will try to do one in that language. It is analagous to IronPython -- in this case, a full Ruby implementation built on the .NET platform. Jamal On Sat, 20 Oct 2007, Veli-Pekka Tätilä wrote:

Does anyone here know Lua, by the way? Another lang that should be included is the Java way into scripting, namely Groovy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groovy_%28programming_language%29 What's the MS equivalent, i.e. is there a .NET based scripting language out there? I do know there's VBA and the Windows Power Shell but not sure if I'd classify either as a scripting lang directly. More like domain specific environments. -- With kind regards Veli-Pekka Tätilä (vtatila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Accessibility, game music, synthesizers and programming: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila Jamal Mazrui wrote: > > >From the zip archive at > http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/boo_fruit.zip > > This fruit basket program is written in Boo -- Full source code in > the zip archive and pasted below.
