scScript for Linux

# scApplications.com Source: [https://scapplications.com/](https://scapplications.com/) ## scScript for Linux scScript is a powerful but simple to use C\-like scripting language\. It compiles to efficient bytecode \(that it shows\) and runs in a fast virtual machine\. scScript is integrated with scEmacs, a small display editor forI/O\. Everything is written in C, runs on 64\-bit Linux, is easy to customize, port, extend, and embed\! Go to[*Online Manual*](https://scapplications.com/manual.html)for a complete guide, or to see sample code \([*Intro 1*](https://scapplications.com/intro1.html)\)\. Go to[*Downloads*](https://scapplications.com/download.html)to get sources for scScript \(and scEmacs\)\. [https://scapplications.com/manual.html](https://scapplications.com/manual.html)[https://scapplications.com/download.html](https://scapplications.com/download.html)[https://scapplications.com/contact.html](https://scapplications.com/contact.html) The scScript language: - Has familiar C\-like syntax and operators\. - Provides simple*pointer\-less*scripting with:- 64\-bit integer and double floats - Immutable UTF\-8 text strings - Arrays that grow automatically - Dictionaries \(flexible assoc lists\) - External structures \(3 flavors\) - Nested function declarations and first\-class closures - Variadic Pass\-by\-value and Pass\-by\-reference args - Subordinate scripts - Has*stackful*asym coroutines and non\-local exits\. - Compiles to optimized bytecode running in a small VM\. - Can display line\-by\-line source AST and bytecodes\. - Optimizes*tail call*recursion \(no stack frame\)\. - Uses Mark/Sweep GC as well as Ref Counting\. - Provides a powerful \(text\) pattern matching system\. - Readily interfaces to C routines for package libs\. - Employs slab\-based low\-level memory management\. - Only uses`libx11`and`libxft`for scEmacs, plus`libffi`for*printf*interface\. scEmacs is an integrated editor with: - Multiple buffers, panes, and windows, - Color source code display, - UTF\-8 text, Undo, Kill Ring, and Mark list, - Incremental search, query replace, and auto completion, - Mouse\-based ops, scrolling, and even Unix Sel insert, - Pop\-up window/menu facility for enumeration/selection, - Specialized commands to drive scScript\.
