ICI is a C-like, high level language originally developed by Tim Long
|
|
and placed into the public domain. ICI marries C's expression syntax,
|
|
control structures and overall feel, with a dynamic, garbage
|
|
collected, object-based, data model. Version 4 incorporates numerous
|
|
performance enhancements, refinements to existing features and new
|
|
features including native support for threads, a cleaner, more well
|
|
defined API for extension module authors and those embedding ICI
|
|
within other programs, and new documentation that is superior to
|
|
that provided in previous releases.
|
|
|
|
ICI is typically used as a scripting-like language in the fashion of
|
|
Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, TCL and other such languages. ICI can be
|
|
called from C and the language itself can be extended allowing
|
|
applications to provide domain specific functions, types and
|
|
operators for use in their ICI programs. Embedding within applications
|
|
allows application authors to make use of ICI's efficient object
|
|
system which provides many useful facilities.
|
|
|
|
ICI is in the public domain, there is no copyright on it.
