Ferite

</tr> </table>

Ferite is a small robust scripting language providing a straightforward application integration, the ability for the API to be extended very easily. The design goals of Ferite are to make a clean, cross-platform language which is easy to embed and easy to extend and provides support for existing and upcoming standards.^[1]

The main influences for Ferite are: Java for objects, C and PHP for functions, Scheme for closures, Ruby for block calling, and C++ for namespaces. Ferite also features a sane loose typing mechanism and a small set of Application programming interfaces (APIs). Overall Ferite should be considered a curly-brace language.^[2]

[edit] Examples

Basic "Hello World" program:

uses "console";
Console.println( "Hello World" );

Using closures/lambda functions:

// Define some numbers:
number x = 10, y = 15, z = 30;

// A closure to add those numbers:
object o = closure {
    return x + y + z;
};

// Use the closure:
Console.println(o.invoke());

// Change the numbers:
x = 5; y = 10; z = 5;

// Use the closure again:
Console.println(o.invoke());

Iterating through an array:

Array.each( [ 1, 2, 3 ] ) using ( value ) {
    Console.println( value * 5 );
};

These are just some of the beginners examples available.^[3]
