It looks a bit like C and C++, but it is much easier to learn and use. It can be used for small scripts as well as for large programs. A lot of inspiration for this port came from the Pike 7.6 port. Some optional pike modules are not yet included; will follow soon.

Pike is an interpreted, object-oriented programming language.

It looks a bit like C and C++, but it is much easier to learn and use.

Pike is :
|
|
- High-level and powerful, which means that even very complex
|
|
things are easy to do.
|
|
- Object-oriented, which means that you can use modern programming
|
|
techniques to divide a large program into small pieces, which are much
|
|
easier to write than it would be to write the entire program at once.
|
|
- Interpreted, which means that you don't have to wait for a program to
|
|
compile and link when you want to run it.
|
|
- One of the fastest "scripting" languages available.
|
|
- Garbage-collected, which makes programming much simpler, and removes
|
|
the risk for memory leaks and other memory-related bugs.
|
|
- Easy to extend, which means that you can create plug-ins, written in
|
|
Pike as well as in C or C++, and integrate them with the rest of Pike.
