Hi, I've just released a new version of Squirrel(beta 3). Squirrel is a high level imperative/OO programming language, designed to be a powerful scripting tool that fits in the size, memory bandwidth, and real-time requirements of applications like games. Although Squirrel offers a wide range of features like: Open Source zlib/libpng licence, dynamic typing, delegation ,higher order functions ,generators ,cooperative threads(coroutines) ,tail recursion ,exception handling ,automatic memory management (CPU bursts free; mixed approach ref counting/GC) ,both compiler and virtual machine fit together in about 6k lines of C++ code, optional 16bits characters strings. squrrel's home: http://squirrel.sourceforge.net Changes Log: -lots of addition and improvements in the standard libraries -minor vm bug fixes -string allocation is now faster -tables and array memory usage is now less conservative(they shrink) -added regular expression routines in the standard library -The 'c' expression now accepts only 1 character(thx irbrian) -multiline strings <[ ]> have been substituted with C# style verbatim strings (eg. @"string") -added new keyword 'parent' for accessing the delegate of tables and unserdata -The metamethod '_clone' has been renamed '_cloned' -the _delslot metamethod's behaviour and prototype have been changed -new default function in the integer and float object 'tochar()' -the built-in function chcode2string has been removed -the default method [table].getdelegate() has been removed -new api sq_rawdeleteslot() -new table built-in method rawdelete(key) -the dynamic mudule loading has been removed from the standard distribution -some optimizations in the VM ----------------------------- The programming language Squirrel http://squirrel.sourceforge.net [edited by - fagiano on May 23, 2004 1:22:42 PM]
