Guys, it seems there are programmer wondering around here. So I guess it is ok to post this announcement in this lounge.


Announce the birth of a new programming language: Luban. Luban is a component oriented scripting language created by Xiaochuan(Peter) Huang in New Jersey, USA.

Peter Huang created Luban because he always wants better tools. He always love scripting languages, though he always misses name space and interface like Java. He eventually went out and created Luban: a scripting language
with its own simple and robust component model tailored for scripting purpose.

Source and binary of Luban version Beta One can be downloaded from:
http://www.lubankit.org

Major features:
- Easy to start, simple and clean syntax, script and run
- Java bean like property based component model
- Component can be a process or a composition ( like spreadsheet)
- All data types and components are saved in a namespace hierarchy
- Built-in thread dispatching and synchronization
- Component interface inheritance
- Dynamic type checking
- Reflection
- Serialize and send any object over network or into a file.
- Remote Component Call
- Exception free error handling.
- API to import new data types from C++

Platforms:
- Linux
- WIN32( NT, 2000, XP, with Cygwin)
- Or any platform supporting POSIX standard

Compilers:
- gcc 3.0 and up
- or any ANSI compliant C++ compiler with thread safe STL and POSIX

If you like scripting language and you wish your language can go all the way further,
Luban is for you. Check out more details at:

this language was based from java? object oriented? woo! i should try that since i just learned basics in java.

Ooble

Funky. Got a "Hello, World!" I can take a peek at?

Actually it's a scripting language with Java/C++ synax + Java Bean like component model.
Namespace, interface inheritance.... you can see a lot of Java spirit there. BUt it is a scripting language and it does not do class. Check it out!

The hello world is like this:

std :: println(obj="Hello, world!");

rijiru-chan

there should be a comma after Hello?

peterx

It's not required, The program still works with or without it. It's part if the string literal.

Ooble

It is required - the Programming Gods say so :p

Looks pretty good, though I think I'll stick to Python for now.

The documentation could use a little cleaning, but it is however very informative. I think i'll give it a good runthrough tonight if it runs on linux....
