The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level [scripting] language implemented in [Java]. It is intended to be small, extensible, extremely flexible, and easy 
to learn and use.

Hecl is very similar, but not identical to [Tcl].  It is initially being built as a scripting language for J2ME capable cell phones, but will hopefully be useful in other places where adding a scripting language to Java makes sense.

Hecl is available here: http://www.hecl.org

[LES]: '''Very''' similar to Tcl. If this thing makes it into OpenOffice, well, it's better than nothing (I really doubt that Tcl will ever make it).

[davidw] afaik, OO is scripted with some sort of visual basic like language, no?  Not likely that anyone - Hecl, Tcl, [Python], [Perl] or whatever - is going to displace that, or do I have my facts wrong?

[LES]: Python and Java have been incorporated: [http://udk.openoffice.org]. If Hecl runs on Java, it might stand a chance.

[KJN]: [Jacl] is Tcl implemented in Java: it might stand a chance too!

[NEM]: Regarding OO.org, see [tcluno].
