Lightweight programming language

BASIC BASIC implementations like Tiny BASIC were designed to be lightweight so that they could run on the microcomputers of the 1980s, because of memory constraints. Forth Forth is a stack-based concatenative imperative programming language using reverse Polish notation. ==Toy languages==

FALSE FALSE is an esoteric programming language, with a complete implementation done in 1024 bytes. Brainfuck Brainfuck is an extremely minimalist esoteric programming language. FlipJump FlipJump is a minimalistic one-instruction set computer. ==Scripting languages==

Io Io is a prototype-based object-oriented scripting language. Lisp Lisp-like languages are very simple to implement, so there are many lightweight implementations of it. There are some notable implementations: • newLISP • PicoLisp Derivatives of Lisp: • Pico • Rebol • Red • Scheme Tcl Tcl-like languages can be easily implemented because of its simple syntax. While Tcl itself is not lightweight, there are some lightweight implementations of languages with similar syntax. ==Embedded languages==

ECMAScript There are many embeddable implementation of ECMAScript like: • Espruino • JerryScript • QuickJS • Boa (JavaScript engine) Derivatives of ECMAScript: • Squirrel Lua Lua is a small (C source is approx. 300 kB tarball, as of version 5.3.5), portable and embeddable scripting language (with LuaJIT as a JIT compiler improving speed). It can be embedded in applications such as computer games to provide runtime scripting capabilities. Wren Wren is a small, fast, object-oriented scripting language. ==References==
