If anybody is interesed in new technologies, you’ll love this new  
language called Falcon [1], which has been open sourced ago little  
time.

Falcon is a scripting engine ready to empower mission-critical  
multithreaded applications. It provides six integrated programming  
paradigms: procedural, object oriented, prototype oriented,  
functional, tabular and message oriented. You use what you prefer.

To know more about its design, read the interview to the Falcon author  
that has published ComputerWorld Australia [2].
