  Description     : embeddable programming language

 From README:
SPL is an embeddable programming language with a wide range of features:

   * complete stateful. It is at any point possible to interrupt
     a running SPL script, dump its entire state to disk and resume
     later on.

   * feature-rich. SPL has native support for hashes and arrays, regular
     expressions, object oriented programming, etc.

   * dynamic. SPL is a fully dynamic language - with all the advantages
     and disadvantages.

   * c-style syntax. SPL has a c-style syntax (as well as many other
     languages such as Java, JavaScript, PHP, slang, etc). so it is easier
     to get started.

   * advanced string lexing. SPL allows the programmer to simply embed
     variables and complex expressions in strings and template files. E.g.
     this is very important for rapid development of web applications.

   * well-structured backend. The SPL runtime is not just one big
     blackbox. Instead, there is a clear and visible seperation of
     compiler, assembler, optimizer, virtual machine, etc. This makes it
     possible to easily adapt the library for your special needs when
     embedding it in your applications.

   * more, more, more,..

 No, this won't become the long description, but I'll write that later
when I do the package for real. :)

 So long,
Alfie
