ferite is a scripting language and engine all in one manageable chunk. ferite was born from the desire to have a language that was easy to embed within other applications. It reached version 1.0 in the second quarter of 2005.

elastiC is a portable high-level object-oriented interpreted language with a C like syntax.

Euphoria is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-learn programming language. It lets you quickly and easily develop programs for Windows, DOS, Linux and FreeBSD. Euphoria was first released in 1993. Since then Rapid Deployment Software has been steadily improving it with the help of a growing number of enthusiastic users. Although Euphoria provides subscript checking, uninitialized variable checking and numerous other run-time checks, it is extremely fast. People use it to develop Windows GUI programs, high-speed DOS games, and Linux/FreeBSD X Windows programs. It is also very useful for CGI (Web-based) programming.

Felix is a new programming language in the ML family. Easy to Deploy: Felix is designed as a scripting language so it is as easy to use as Ruby, Python or PHP, and provides the same kind of platform independence and rapid prototyping.

Lava an experimental object-oriented rapid application development (RAD) language with type parameters ("virtual types"), refactoring, and extensive static checks, that prevent inadvertent access to uninitialized variables and null objects already at programming time.

Limbo is a programming language intended for applications running distributed systems on small computers. It supports modular programming, strong type checking at compile- and run-time, interprocess communication over typed channels, automatic garbage collection, and simple abstract data types. It is designed for safe execution even on small machines without hardware memory protection.

Mercury is a logic/functional programming language which combines the clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features. Its highly optimized execution algorithm delivers efficiency far in excess of existing logic programming systems, and close to conventional programming systems. Mercury addresses the problems of large-scale program development, allowing modularity, separate compilation, and numerous optimization/time trade-offs.

With over 50 academics and 1000 students we are one of the UKs largest computing departments. Our range of courses is second to none: from creative computing through web technologies, business information systems, general computing, software engineering and networking, to security and forensics. We design our courses with our industrial partners to use all the latest technology in specialist labs such as our Cisco lab, digital media mac labs, embedded & wireless systems lab, digital forensics lab, audio lab and games development lab.

Nemerle is a high-level statically-typed programming language for the .NET platform. It offers functional, object-oriented and imperative features. It has a simple C#-like syntax and a powerful meta-programming system.

Smalltalk is a computer language designed specifically for a wide range of humans rather than a narrow group of computer specialists.
