Pike Scripting Language

Posted by michael on from the big-fast-and-hungry dept.

ulrikp writes "The vikings have done it again! The Swedes at Linköping University (home of the cool Lysator archives) have released a new version of their Pike scripting language. It is similar to C++ and C#, but is apparently more type-safe than either. It is interpreted, and runs on many OS's, including Linux, Solaris, and Windows. Check it out!"

    Mod -1 offtopic, but the Vikings are from Norway not Sweden right? Someone please correct me.

    Simple ! You obviously *definitely* want to run a programming language with classes such as :

    String.Elite
    Contains methods that transfer ordinary readable text into leet-speak. A fairly good argument could be laid out for putting this in Crypto as a one way cipher...
