Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including system administration, web development, network programming, GUI development, and more. Its major features ... [More] include support for multiple programming paradigms (procedural, object-oriented, and functional styles), automatic memory management, built-in support for text processing, and a large collection of third-party modules. It's worth noting that Perl is currently under /very/ active development - although the commit stats here don't reflect that fact because the version control system Perl uses isn't yet compatible with Ohloh. Hopefully that can be fixed - the Perl community would certainly like Ohloh to show recent activity. [Less]

Lua is a powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by ... [More] interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. [Less]

GNU CLISP is an ANSI Common Lisp implementation with an interpreter, compiler, debugger, object system (CLOS, MOP), sockets, fast bignums, arbitrary precision floats, and foreign language interface which runs on most UNIXes and Win32.

Io is a small, prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).

Pike is a dynamic programming language with a syntax similar to Java and C. It is simple to learn, does not require long compilation passes and has powerful built-in data types allowing simple and really fast data manipulation.

GNU Smalltalk is a free implementation of the Smalltalk-80 language.

The Nickle Programming Language is a C-like language with modern programming language features, intended for rapid prototyping, complex scripting, and numerical calculation. The current implementation is an interactive compiler to byte code written in C, with a runtime system written in C and Nickle.

Regina is a Rexx interpreter that has been ported to most Unix platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.) and also to OS/2, eCS, DOS, Win9x/Me/NT/2k/XP, Amiga, AROS, QNX4.x, QNX6.x BeOS, MacOS X, EPOC32, AtheOS, OpenVMS, SkyOS and ... [More] OpenEdition. Rexx is a programming language that was designed to be easy to use for inexperienced programmers yet powerful enough for experienced users. It is also a language ideally suited as a macro language for other applications. [Less]

Open Object Rexx interpreter based on the original IBM Object Rexx product.

Java based generic scripting engine with dynamic language features. Syntax is also based on the Java language and works transparent with Java VM in that it locates classes on the fly and can also compile .java files in runtime. Recently added prototype functionality (as known from ECMA based scriptlanguages such as Javascript/Actionscript).

ORCA is an interpreter for a REBOL-like language. The interpreter is a C library so that C/C++ applications can use ORCA as an embedded scripting system. ORCA stands for Open-source Rebol Can be Achieved.

Smalltalk YX is a Smalltalk-80 implementation. It's highly portable, and runs equally well on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, Mac, Unix, Windows, WinCE, or Solaris. It has an easy-to-use plugin system and is very active.
