Falcon

,

I've discovered a scripting language called Falcon. It's an open-source language, and looks like the developers want the language to be able to do anything through any method possible. The best way I can describe it is to call it an "open language" - you can program OOP, procedural, or functional.

You can use any Unicode-encoded language, even mixing multiple languages. You can create objects without classes. Dictionaries (maps) can use other dictionaries as keys. Tabular programming makes data manipulation simple.

Anyway, Falcon will be a major part of my Linux distribution. My plan is for tcsh to be the default shell for all non-root users, and I'll probably write most of the scripts in Falcon.

Wink captures screenshots, allows you to add relevant information (information boxes, voice recordings, etc.), then saves everything in Flash format. You can also export to other formats, including PDF and EXE.

SpeedDial is fun. It's pretty bad though, I only have four pages I really want in there.
