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...
// A function returning a closure function makeGen( vector ) i = 0 // our generator, taking 1 item per call return function() if i == vector.len(): return oob(0) return vector[i++] end end // create the generator f = makeGen( .['a' 'b' 'c' 'd'] ) // iterate with a standard for/in loop for value in f >> value formiddle: >> ", " forlast: > "." end |
