:Ruby is a free scripting language by a japanese group around Matsumoto, which

:ftp://ftp.netlab.co.jp/pub/lang/ruby , with garbage collection, single imple-

: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 ).

So each of these have X11 GUI programming integrated into them?  That's great.
Are there others as well?  One of the most frustrating things for novice users
of Tk and Python and Perl users is the strange bindings .  But perhaps the
3 above all use a native interface for GUI development.  Do any of them
also do cross platform development?  That's one of the great things that
Python's stdwin offered early on, as does Tcl/Tk.  They work on a number
of platforms and windowing environments.
