Ruby is a free scripting language by a japanese group around Matsumoto, which
comes with the japanese extension set for debian linux. It is found also at
ftp://ftp.netlab.co.jp/pub/lang/ruby , with garbage collection, single imple-
mentation/multiple interface inheritance, exception handling, functions as
first-class-objects, dynamic loading, easy extensibility through the C API,
eiffel-like syntax

Pike is a free scripting language by a swedish team around F. Hubinette, which
is used e.g. in Idonex' webserver 'Roxen', on ftp.idonex.se/pub. It has a 
C-like syntax, OO based on moduling, garbage collection, dynamic loading, easy
C-API extensibility. 

Ici is a PD scripting language with algol-like syntax, some lisp features 
underneath, garbage collecting, moduling, extensibility etc. Its author is
A. Newman ( andy[research.canon.com.au ).
