Introduct Luban: a new component oriented programming language
 

I think this forums readers are programmers who may be interested in this new tool.

Introduce a new programming language: Luban. Luban is a component oriented scripting language created by Xiaochuan(Peter) Huang.

Luban's syntax is simple and clean, similar to Java/C++. The author tries not invent any new syntax unless necessary. And Luban's object model is property based like Java Bean, only more robust.

Peter Huang created Luban because he always wants better tools. He always love scripting languages, though he always misses name space and interface like Java when doing scripting. And he personally considers coding class in scripting language does not reflect the strength of scripting language and just can not compete with more formal languages like C++/JAVA. He eventually went out and created Luban: a scripting language with its own simple and robust component model tailored for scripting purpose.

Source and binary of Luban version Beta One can be downloaded from:
lubankit.org
