Glue language

From DocForge

A glue language is a programming language which is especially useful in tying together multiple systems. A good glue language will provide an easy and efficient way to link communications or data between other programming languages or subsystems.

Glue Languages [edit]

  • Python - An interpreted language which provides easy scripting of common low-level functions and interfaces to many libraries
  • rc shell - The Unix 10th Edition and Plan 9 shell by Tom Duff, it is ideal to combine many other programs using pipes and the 'tool philosophy'.
