Re: Programming languages for Debian-Jr
Ok,
Here is list we have elaborate on IRC:
One basic interpreters. It's a question of test, like it or not, a lot
of us start with basic.
----------
Yet Another BASIC interpreter
Implements the most common (and simple) elements of the language plus
some graphics facilities. Anyone who has ever written BASIC programs
on a C-64 should feel at home.
A LOGO, it has been widely used some time ago.
There is a graphic version glogo, but not stable enought.
Glogo is fork of UCBLOGO.
----------
UCBLOGO
a dialect of lisp using turtle graphics famous for teaching kids.
This is the UC Berkeley implementation of logo written primarily by
Daniel Van Blerkom, Brian Harvey, Michael Katz, and Douglas
Orleans. This version of logo is featured in Brian Harvey's book
_Computer_Science_Logo_Style, _Volume_1: _Symbolic_Computing_ (ISBN
0-262-58151-5). This version provides the following special features:
Python, a very nice language to learn programming:
---------- idle 1.5.2-16
An IDE for Python using Tkinter
IDLE is an Integrated Development Environment for Python. IDLE is
written using Tkinter and therefore quite platform-independent.
----------pythondoc 0.6-2
Generate reference manuals and indices from Python objects.
Pythondoc is an experimental tool to extract information from Python
objects and generate reference manuals and indices. Currently
formatting modules for a homegrown XML format and HTML 4.0 are
included.
If you want to use the GUI, you'll have to install the python-pmw and
python-tk packages as well.
----------python-base 1.5.2-16
An interactive object-oriented scripting language.
An interpretive, interactive object oriented computer language,
includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network
programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.
----------python-tk 1.5.2-16
Writing Tk applications with Python (Tkinter).
A module for writing portable GUI applications with Python using
Tk. Also known as Tkinter.
----------python-elisp 1.5.2-16
Emacs-lisp python-mode for the scripting language Python.
If you install this with XEmacs 20 or 21, it will replace the included
python-mode.el, which may or may not be a more recent version (use
"C-h v py-version" to compare).
We cannot do this list without a lisp dialect.
DrScheme is a very complete environment, probably the most
friendly of our selected list.
----------drscheme 103-10
Scheme Programming Environment
This is a Scheme Programming Environment, designed for use within an
educational setting. The faculty and staff at Rice University
developed this package to be used in programming curricula, as a
supplement to mathematics courses, or for general programming
instruction in a liberal arts setting.
It includes its own IDE (which runs under X) and is similar in some
respects to Emacs (most noticably in its keybindings).
It has an integrated help system and can run one of four modes
(beginning, intermediate, advanced, complete). Each level exposes
successively more features and options to the user. The goal of this
configuration is to protect novice users from the more arcane behavior
of Scheme under certain cases.
