Project description:

Dook is the scripting language for the Java platform.

The goals for the language are:
 - small - embeddable into larger applications, core language has only 
programming logic, requires extensions (see below) to perform any real tasks, 
total interpreter size will be about 20-30 kilobytes
 - secure - core language is unable to do any harm to the application and 
system, security can be precisely fine-tuned by adding specialized extensions 
(see below)
 - extendable - any kind of i/o for Dook scripts (including disk, network, 
terminal and GUI access) has to be explicitly enabled by adding language 
extensions. Extensions are very easy to write.
 - simple - extremely simple syntax which is designed to help learn language 
also for non-programmers (application end-users).

Current status:
Dook language interpreter is implemented 100%, I am now working on improvements 
to the interpreter, documentation, tutorial, writing more standard extensions 
etc. First release expected in 2-3 weeks.

Availability:
It\'s not available anywhere right now because I don\'t want to release it 
unfinished (no, it\'s too small to be a cooperative project :-).
