Nu

Nu is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, with a LISP-like syntax, created by Tim Burks as an alternative scripting language to program Mac OS X through its Cocoa API. There is also a language implementation for Linux, and the iPhone. The language was first announced at C4[1], the conference for indie Mac developers hold on August 2007. This Nu code defines a simple complex numbers class. The example is a basic definition of a co... more
