It is being developed as to be as light-weight as possible, -however, providing a possibility to solve a wide range of tasks. It can be -used as a stand-alone tool, as well as a CGI engine. It is not intended to be -embeddable like Tcl, but since the interpreter is very compact, it can be -attached to an application without great overhead. - -The NSL should be easy to learn. Its syntax is much simplier than that of perl -or even awk and is more like Tcl or csh. It has, however, some peculiarities -in syntax, as well as in programming techniques, so it would probably require -some time to get accustomed to. - -However, the NSL is not a quick-development language. Its core does not and -shall not include 'complete solutions'. Inspite of its rather high level, it -should be regarded as a toolbox by the means of which a programmer may -implement what he wants. Only such approach (IMHO) may allow to keep the -language small, efficient, easy both to learn and to use. - -WWW: http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/nsl/ |
