CLIPS is a forward-chaining rule-based programming language written in C that also provides procedural and object-oriented programming facilities.

JamVM is a new Java Virtual Machine conforming to the JVM specification edition 2 (blue book). It is extremely small - stripped on PowerPC ~110K, Intel 80K. However, unlike other small VMs it supports the full spec, inc. object finalisation and JNI.

Tcl/Java consists of two pieces of software. Jacl is an implementation of a Tcl interpreter written entirely in Java. Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that provides access to Java from inside Tcl. One can prototype Java code using Tcl, and much more.

Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. It is the successor to JPython.

SableCC is a parser generator which generates object-oriented frameworks for building compilers, interpreters and other text parsers. SableCC keeps a clean separation between machine and user code which leads to a shorter development cycle.

Lightweight, fast, Java-centric Lua interpreter written for JME and JSE, with string, table, package, math, io, os, debug, coroutine & luajava libraries, JSR-223 bindings, all metatags, weak tables and unique direct lua-to-java-bytecode compiling.

SISC is an extensible Java based interpreter of the algorithmic language Scheme. SISC uses modern interpretation techniques, and handily outperforms all existing Java interpreters (often by more than an order of magnitude).

The PHP script engine for Java. --- Run PHP applications within any J2EE server or servlet engine and/or connect script engines like PHP with Java or .NET back ends efficiently.

Community Z Tools Project (CZT): Tools for editing, typechecking and animating Z specifications and related notations. Includes a Java framework for building formal methods tools. NOTE: development of CZT has now moved to GitHub: https://github.com/community-z-users/czt

Lua interpreter for Android written in pure Java.

Compose* is a project that aims at enhancing the modularization capabilities of component- and object-based programming. In particular, Compose* offers aspect-oriented programming through the composition filters model.

NOTE: Yacas and yagy development has moved to github. The new repositories are located at https://github.com/grzegorzmazur/yacas and https://github.com/grzegorzmazur/yagy . The mailing list has been moved over to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/yacas . The downloads section at sourceforge will be kept up to date for the foreseable future. Yacas is an easy to use, general purpose computer algebra system. It uses its own programming language designed for symbolic as well as arbitrary-precision numerical computations. The system comes with a library of scripts and extensive documentation. Yagy (http://sourceforge.net/p/yagy) provides full yacas experience wrapped in a simple and intuitive graphical interface.

Jason is a fully-fledged interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak, a BDI agent-oriented logic programming language, and is implemented in Java. Using JADE a multi-agent system can be distributed over a network effortlessly. This project was moved to https://jason-lang.github.io

JPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. Maintenance and evolution of the project has moved! please see http://www.jpype.org for the latest version

Automata Based Programming Tool for implementing logic for J2SE, J2EE and Sybmian applications. Consists of Java FSM Framework and Eclipse Plugin parts. Plugin implements UML model editor, visual debugger, validator, compiler and interpreter for Eclipse

We extend the Eclipse IDE with tools for development in Haskell, a functional programming language, providing support for a wide range of tools (compilers, interpreters, doc tools etc.) in a coherent, convenient and configurable environment.

eXist-db is a native XML database featuring efficient, index-based XQuery processing, extensions for keyword search, XUpdate support, XSLT support, XForms support, REST and tight integration with existing XML development tools. Moved to Github - https://www.github.com/exist-db/exist

An implementation of the language described in "Karel the Robot: A Gentle Introduction to The Art of Programming" by Richard Pattis et al. Both Java and C/Unix versions are available.

DaVinci Concurrente es un lenguaje orientado a la enseñanza de la programación estructurada para fortalecer los cimientos base de su aprendizaje, tanto en la etapa inicial de la programación secuencial como en la introducción a los conceptos básicos de la programación concurrente. Permite la visualización de la ejecución a través de una ciudad en la cual se puede controlar uno o más robots. Cada robot puede realizar diferentes acciones (por ejemplo tomar flores en la intersección que se encuentra).

The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level scripting language implemented in Java. It is aimed at resource constrained environments like mobile phones. *Now hosted here* http://github.com/davidw/hecl/tree/master

JoSQL (Java Objects SQL) provides SQL capabilities for querying, ordering and grouping of collections of Java objects (POJOs). It allows a SQL statement to be applied to the collection of objects and the matching set returned, ordered and grouped.

A Logo interpreter and programming environment specialized for schools. It is a revised version of XLogo, published on http://xlogo.tuxfamily.org/. The Logo dialect is almost the same as Xlogo's, but some Logo commands were reimplemented to fit with the new programming environment and workspace. Some commands which were buggy in the original XLogo have been fixed. The interpreter works now more efficient due to the usage of more suitable data structures. The output of turtle graphics is now smoother and more appealing due to different rendering settings. Various features have been added to support better user experience and satisfaction in schools. @Translations: The new GUI parts are available in * English * German * French * Italian If you would like to make the application available in your language and if you would like to contribute, please contact us. * * * * * * * * * * * News * * * * * * * * * * The X4S Manual is now available on the files page.

CJam is a stack-oriented programming language heavily inspired from GolfScript and suitable for code golfing. It is an interpreted language, and the official interpreter is written in java.
