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 to follow your inspiration. |
Falcon is like...
// Some person that may be lucky... class Person( number ) id = number init if random(0,1): subscribe( "lucky", self ) end //... and receive a luck notification function on_lucky( data ) > data, " ", self.id, " is lucky!" end end // create all the people for i in [1:11]: Person(i) // lucky ones, hail! broadcast( "lucky", "Person" ) |
