embedded into other systems as a command, macro, and development prototyping
language.
FreeBSD uses ficl in its loader. So far we haven't done much more in
this area, perhaps importing a port will encourage further fruitful
exploitation of this valuable tool.

lang/jgnat and the associated lang/jgnat-doc-* ports should
be retired. lang/jgnat is no longer supported by ACT and
will no longer compile with lang/gnat's Ada compiler.

execline is a very light non-interactive scripting language,
which is similar to /bin/sh. Simple shell scripts can be
easily rewritten in the execline language, improving performance
and memory usage. execline was designed for use
in embedded systems, but works on most Unix flavors.
execline features conditional loops, getopt-style option handling,
filename globbing, and more. Meanwhile, its syntax
is far more logical and predictable than the shell's syntax,
and has no security issues.

ArrowLISP is a small, properly tail-recursive, dynamically
scoped interpreter for a purely symbolic and almost
side-effect-free dialect of LISP. It may be considered an
implementation of pure LISP.
The interpreter has both a command line interface and an
editor-like full screen interface.

BrainF*ck is a minimalistic, yet Turing-complete programming
language with only 8 instructions. bf2c compiles a BF file
into a corresponding C file, optimizing as much as possible
for speed, size and readability.
It is written for fun, self-educating purposes and to beat
existing BF compilers.

The port www/horde2 and its dependences (mail/turba,
mail/imp3, etc.) cannot be packaged, because the default
options of PHP are not sufficient.
This port uses lang/php4 with Horde's options, in order to
remove the IS_INTERACTIVE flags.

FPL is a complete script programming language _very_ similar
to C. If you are a software developer and plans to add any
kind of macro/script control, consider the FPL alternative!
FPL library lets the software programmer define functions
and variables that FPL should accept. The library will call
a function in the software whenever any of these functions
are used or variables are read in an FPL program.

This update introduces two new knobs to _disable_ somewhat
experimental options:
BUILD_STATIC=yes Unless this option is specified,
the port will build python as shared
binary.
WITH_UCS2=yes Unless this option is specified,
Py_UNICODE type will charge 4 bytes
per character (as we do for wchar_t)

This is a port of Bigloo, a Scheme system which includes a
compiler generating C code and Java classes and an interpreter.
Bigloo is the tool of choice for the construction of small
autonomous applications in Scheme. Bigloo is mostly conformant
to the Revised5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme
with many extensions.

Ruby Shim is a set of modules that provide the libraries and the
additional features that will appear in the next version of Ruby.
Shim between 1.6 and 1.8 includes:
features/ruby18 Hooks to support ruby 1.8 extensions
dl Interface to dynamic linker
racc-runtime Racc runtime module
stringio IO interface for String
strscan Fast string scanner
benchmark Benchmark module
fileutils File & directory manipulation
pp Pretty printer (prettier version of `p')
tsort Topological sorter
Accordingly, this port obsoletes and replaces the following ports:
devel/ruby-dl
devel/ruby-fileutils
devel/ruby-fnmatch
devel/ruby-racc-runtime
devel/ruby-strscan
They will be automatically deinstalled during the installation process
of this port.
Dice is Matt Dillon's (yes, our FreeBSD guru :) portable 68000 C
Compiler. Found it odd that there's not a port for this, considering that the
author of the compiler is a FreeBSD commiter.

Modula-3 compiler and runtime system for people who just want to
build CVSup. Smaller distfiles! Faster builds! No runtime
dependencies! Less memory usage! No more RTHeapDepC.c problems!
Smoother skin and glossier fur! (Well, most of those things.)
