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.

Falcon is like...
class SomeClass( data )
   data = data

   function makeMethod()
      // record self in a local variable
      me = self
      // and return a closure referencing it!
      return { func => me.data }
   end
end

x = SomeClass( "It's me here!" )
func = x.makeMethod()
> func()   // prints "It's me here!"
