The Falcon Programming Language
Fast, simple and powerful programming language
Location: Home page

Falcon is ...

...an Open Source, simple, fast and powerful programming language, easy to learn and to feel comfortable with, and a scripting engine ready to empower mission-critical multithreaded applications.

Falcon provides six integrated programming paradigms: procedural, object oriented, prototype oriented, functional, tabular and message oriented. And you don't have to master all of them; you just need to pick the ingredients you prefer, and let the code to follow your inspiration.

Falcon is like...
string = "Hello world!"
variable_name = "string"

// prints "Hello world!"
> #variable_name
