Water (programming language)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Water™ is a programming language targeted at rapid prototyping of XML Web services. Its main design goal was to be powerful while remaining simple (the designers claim that Water is as easy to use as BASIC but as powerful as LISP).

Some information about Water:

• Runs within a Java Virtual Machine, and thus can use Java libraries.
• Runs within the "Steam Engine", and is developed with the "Steam IDE". Presently, Water is interpreted.
• Utilizes the ConciseXML™ syntax.
• Is object-oriented.
• Supports the novel "execution kinds" concept, aiding meta-programming.
