S-Lang is a powerful interpreted language that may be embedded into an application to make it extensible. Examples of applications that take advantage of the interpreter include jed, slrn, and mutt.

Useful Java Application Components (UJAC) is a collection of components that may be useful for your project. It provides a powerful expression interpreter, an iText-based document processing engine that generates PDF documents based on XML templates, a charting library supporting JSP custom tags, and much more.

OpenBIOS is an effort to produce an OpenFirmware (IEEE 1275-1994) compliant firmware. OpenFirmware is used by SUN, Apple, and others.

DELORES (DEfeasible LOgic REasoning System) is a forward-chaining reasoning engine for defeasible logic, a less-expressive but more efficient non-monotonic logic. In contrast with most other non-monotonic logics, defeasible logic has linear complexity, allowing DELORES to execute large theories very quickly. DELORES's algorithm extends to general defeasible theories through the use of a pre-processing transformation which eliminates all uses of defeaters and superiority relations.

UnderC was designed as a compact fast interpreter

templates, and comes with 'pocket' versions of the standard library classes like string, vector, map,

1. It is very straightforward to load functions

from shared libraries using a simple pragma and an external "C" directive. UnderC is a fully interactive system, so single lines of code can be quickly evaluated and tested.

JRuby is the effort to recreate the Ruby interpreter in Java. JRuby is tightly integrated with Java to allow both to script any Java class and to embed the interpreter into any Java application.

Neko is a high-level dynamically typed programming language. It can be used as an embedded scripting language. It has been designed to provide a common runtime for several different languages. Learning and using Neko is very easy. You can easily extend the language with C libraries. You can also write generators from your own language to Neko and then use the Neko Runtime to compile, run, and access existing libraries. Neko is a good way for language designers to focus on design and reuse a fast and well-designed runtime, as well as existing libraries for accessing filesystem, network, databases, XML, etc. It has a compiler and a virtual machine. The virtual machine is very lightweight and well optimized. The VM can be easily embedded into any application, and your libraries can be accessed using the C foreign function interface.

Ciao is a complete Prolog system subsuming ISO-Prolog with a novel modular design which allows both restricting and extending the language. Ciao extensions currently include feature terms (records), higher-order, functions, constraints, objects, persistent predicates, a good base for distributed execution (agents), and concurrency. Libraries also support WWW programming, sockets, and external interfaces (C, Java, TCL/Tk, relational databases, etc.). An Emacs-based environment, a stand-alone compiler, and a toplevel shell are also provided.

OpenMCL is an Open Source version of Digitool's excellent Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) implementation, which runs on LinuxPPC and MacOS X. It features a native code compiler, multithreading support, and good ANSI CL compliance.
