Tea (programming language)
- Tea (programming language)
Tea is a high level scripting language for the Java environment. It combines features of Scheme, Tcl and Java.
* Integrated support for all major programming paradigms.
** Functional programming language.
** Functions are first class objects.
** Scheme-like closures are intrinsic to the language.
** Support for object oriented programming.
* Modular libraries with autoloading on demand facilities.
* Large base of core functions and classes.
** String and list processing.
** Regular expressions.
** File and network I/O.
** Database access.
** XML processing.
* 100% Pure Java.
** The Tea interpreter is implemented in Java.
** Tea runs anywhere with a Java 1.1 JVM or higher.
* Intended to be easily extended in Java. For example, Tea supports relational database access through JDBC, regular expressions through GNU Regexp, and an XML parser through a SAX parser (XML4J for example).
Interpreter Alternatives
* Tea is a proprietary language. Its interpreter is subject to a non-free license. On the other hand, a project called "destea", which released Language::Tea in CPAN, provides an alternative to the proprietary interpreter, by generating Java Code based on the Tea code.
* There's an open source compiler, [http://code.google.com/p/teaclipse/ TeaClipse] , that uses a JavaCC-generated parser to parse and then compile Tea source to the proprietary Tea bytecode. The author of TeaClipse [http://clearlyvague.com/?p=25 has expressed interest] in enhancing TeaClipse to produce Java bytecode.
