Package: Lime
System name: lime
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Lime (lsl) is a modular (micro kernel) designed scripting lanuage.  It borrows 
elements for many other lanuages (including perl, python, lisp, ruby, c/c++, 
java, & assembly) as well as using some of its own conventions.  It can't 
really be described as an object oriented lanuage nor a linear one, but more or 
a gray area inbetween.  The original concept produced a very small and fast 
engine, but it is in the process of going through a rewrite at the moment.  The 
end results of the rewrite are still being planned.
The current tarball of what is going on can be grabbed at 
http://www.badcherry.net:3000/~badcherry/lime.tar.gz
I don't think that that tarball will even compile in its current state, but it 
should give an idea of what the goal of the project is.  Once completed, the 
lanuage should have the most in common with ruby, but will indeed be itself and 
not sharing too much with any one lanuage.  Right now there is a copy of the 
bsd lisence in the tarball, and that is to be ignored because the gpl is going 
to be used instead.
The name used to be dicc, but I feel that name is unsuitable and am in the 
process of changing it to lime, but if the name lime is found to be a poor 
choice for some reason, it is very flexable and can be changed.
