The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level scripting language implemented in Java. It is intended to be small, extensible, extremely flexible, and easy to learn and use. It is intended as a complement to the Java programming language, not a replacement. As such, it tries to do well what Java doesn't, and leaves those tasks to Java for which it is best suited. It is also easy to add Hecl to Java, or write new Hecl commands in Java. It aims to be a very immediate language so that you can pick it up and start doing useful things with it quickly. Of particular interest is the fact that it's small enough to run on Java-enabled cell phones, so you can quickly script applications for them!
