Falcon is ...
...an Open Source, simple,
fast and powerful programming language,
easy to learn and to feel comfortable with, and a scripting engine ready to empower
mission-critical multithreaded applications.
Falcon provides six integrated
programming paradigms: procedural, object oriented, prototype oriented,
functional, tabular and message oriented. And you don't have to master
all of them; you just need to pick
the ingredients you prefer, and let the code follow your
inspiration.
