Description:

Kawa is:
* A framework written in Java for implementing high-level and
dynamic languages, compiling them into Java bytecodes.
* An implementation of Scheme, which is in the Lisp family of
programming languages. Kawa is a featureful dialect in its own
right, and additionally provides very useful integration with
Java. It can be used as a "scripting" language, but includes a
compiler and all the benefits of a "real" programming
language, including optional static typing.
* Implementations of other programming languages, including
XQuery (Qexo) and Emacs Lisp (JEmacs).
