scScript for Linux

scScript is a powerful but simple to use C-like scripting language. It compiles to efficient bytecode (that it shows) and runs in a fast virtual machine. scScript is integrated with scEmacs, a small display editor for I/O .

Everything is written in C, runs on 64-bit Linux, is easy to customize, port, extend, and embed!
