Design Considerations
This document summarizes some of the design considerations that we followed developing ScriptBasic for Java.
The main design goals of ScriptBasic for C were to create an interpreted language that is
- BASIC, easy to use
- free
- supported
- scripting
- portable
- 4E: easy to embed, easy to extend
- compile
- multi-thread
ScriptBasic for Java was developed with similar design goals in mind. We wanted a BASIC interpreter in Java so that Java application can access a BASIC interpreter as a scripting extension to their application to be used by the business experts. We believe in free software and thus we release ScriptBasic for Java as GPL (note that ScriptBasic Classic is LGPL).
