nice fast-paced overview of dynamic languages with comparisons of each feature to Java
io - a small, prototype-based programming language
The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, emb
The Year In Scripting Languages Lua/Perl/Python/Ruby/Tcl 2002
This is a joint review of 2002 for the programming languages. Lua, Perl, Python, Ruby, and Tcl.It was a cooperative effort by people from the five communities.
The Implementation of Lua 5.0 - Traditionally, most virtual machines intended for actual execution are stack based, a trend that started with Pascal’s P-machine [15] and continues today with Java’s JVM and Microsoft’s .Net environment.
Currently, however, there has been a growing interest in register based virtual machines (for instance, the planned new virtual machine for Perl 6 (Parrot) will be register based). As far as we know, the virtual machine of Lua 5.0 is the first register-ba
