[Jscheme-user] [ANN] Seco JVM Scripting Environment 0.3 released

[Borislav I. <bor...@ko...>]

Hi all,

This is JSR 223 based scripting dev environment for Java dynamic
languages that's been in the works for several years now:
http://www.kobrix.com/seco.jsp

We've just released version 0.3. Here's the official press release,
please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Kobrix Software is pleased to announce the release of Seco 0.3 Seco,
formerly known as Scriba, is a scripting development environment for
JVM-based dynamic languages. Seco has been in active development and use
for the past several years and it is a perfect companion to the serious
Java developer.

Key features include:

- Support of many popular JVM languages with syntax highlighting and
code completion for most.
- Advanced script editing interface based on structured notebooks as
popularized by the Mathematica system.
- A WYSIWYG HTML editor for documentation.
- An infinite, zoomable 2D canvas for arbitrary layout of components,
container nesting and more.
- Full workspace automatically persisted in an
embedded HyperGraphDB database (see http://www.kobrix.com/hgdb.jsp)
- Support for importing 3d party libraries in multiple evaluation
contexts.
- Based on the JSR 223 standard for language interoperability - all
languages share the same runtime context.
- Real-time collaboration and exchange of components and notebooks via a
P2P network.

Seco is perfect not only for prototyping, testing and experimentation,
but it is also the ideal tool for learning a given JVM language or a new
Java library. It can be used to build complete interactive applications
embedded within the environment itself similarly to a life system like
Squeak!

Seco is free, open-source, LGPL licensed software.
