The RapidEuphoria Language

RapidEuphoria is a wonderful programming language who:

• Is simple to learn
• Has a really good performance (comparable with C)
• Is procedural
• If you want you can write code in an object-oriented style, choosing an object-orientation layer and downloading if from the RapidEuphoria web site
• Can be interpreted
• Can be translated to ANSI C and the compiled
• Has a really wonderful FFI interface
• Has a good debugger
• Many great things to add here :-)

If you have some free time, I advise you to try it.

The Tcl wrapper

This module is a wrapper who enable RapidEuphoria programs to embed a Tcl/Tk interpreter in a system-indipendent way.

In detail, with the Tcl wrapper, you can:

• Invoke a tcl command from an euphoria program and store the result somewhere like this:

      p=tcl_execute("wm title . {Listbox example}")
  

• Register a new tcl command that will call an euphoria procedure. Like this:

  function add_value_callback()
      sequence content
      
      content=tcl_eval(".en get")
      if length(content)=0 then
          tcl_execute("tk_messageBox -message {Please enter a value} -icon info -type ok")
      else
          tcl_execute_f(".f.list insert end {%s}", {content})
      end if
      
      return ""
  end function
  
  ...
  
  tcl_register_command("euph_add_value", routine_id("add_value_callback"))
  

• Write platform-independent gui apps using the Tk toolkit. Please see the included examples.

Tested system configuration

• Linux and Tcl/Tk 8.4.14
• Linux and Tcl/Tk 8.5 alpha
• Windows XP, ActiveTcl 8.4
• Windows XP, ActiveTcl 8.5

Downloads
