Python is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in ... [More] a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of better code. [Less]

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable.

Parrot is the virtual machine (VM) that will run Perl 6. Its register-based design with object oriented internal types is optimized for the needs of dynamic languages such as Perl 6, PHP, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Lisp, Lua, Tcl, ... . This ... [More] differentiates it from other VMs such as Java's JVM and .NET's CLR which are stack-based and primarily aimed at static languages. [Less]

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).

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

MacRuby is a version of Ruby 1.9, ported to run directly on top of Mac OS X core technologies such as the Objective-C common runtime and garbage collector, and the CoreFoundation framework. While still a work in progress, it is the goal of ... [More] MacRuby to enable the creation of full-fledged Mac OS X applications which do not sacrifice performance in order to enjoy the benefits of using Ruby. [Less]

rVM is a virtual machine written in Ruby that allows to include scripting capabilities to ruby programs. Scripts run completely separated from the ruby code and only publish access to selected methods.

A minimalist implementation of Python in 64k of code. Includes functions, classes, exceptions, lists, dictionaries, modules, list comprehensions, parser, compiler, virtual machine, garbage collection, numbers, strings, and (some) builtins. Batteries not included.

Q is a scripting engine that implements C-like language, compiler, and bytecode interpreter. Main design goal were to create minimal and fast engine that can be easily embedded into the C/C++ programs. Q is implemented in standard C.

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.
