This might be interesting for our purposes also.

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce a new, unique JVM scripting tool called Seco, version
0.3 just released (don't get distracted by the < 1.0 version, it's pretty
stable). There's JRuby support with code assistance etc. The official press
release follows, but here are the main pointers:

Home page: http://www.kobrix.com/seco.jsp
Videos: http://www.kobrix.com/secovideos.jsp

Note: JRuby is not pre-bundled to reduce download size, you need to drop a
jar (http://seco.googlecode.com/files/seco-ruby.jar) in seco/lib after
untar-ing.

This is LGPL software, and we'd very much like to hear what you think of it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kobrix Software is pleased to announce the release of Seco 0.3 Seco,
formerly known as Scriba, is a scripting development environment for
JVM-based dynamic languages. Seco has been in active development and use for
the past several years and it is a perfect companion to the serious Java
developer.

Key features include:

- Support of many popular JVM languages with syntax highlighting and code
completion for most.
- Advanced script editing interface based on structured notebooks as
popularized by the Mathematica system.
- A WYSIWYG HTML editor for documentation.
- An infinite, zoomable 2D canvas for arbitrary layout of components,
container nesting and more.
- Full workspace automatically persisted in an embedded HyperGraphDB
(http://www.kobrix.com/hgdb.jsp) database.
- Support for importing 3d party libraries in multiple evaluation contexts.
- Based on the JSR 223 standard for language interoperability - all
languages share the same runtime context.
- Real-time collaboration and exchange of components and notebooks via a P2P
network.

Seco is perfect not only for prototyping, testing and experimentation, but
it is also the ideal tool for learning a given JVM language or a new Java
library. It can be used to build complete interactive applications embedded
within the environment itself similarly to a life system like Squeak!

Seco is free, open-source, LGPL licensed software.

To download and for more information, please visit the Seco home page at
Kobrix (http://www.kobrix.com/seco.jsp) .

Best,
Boris

Sounds interesting. If I get some more time to work on scripting I will
try it with the prototype JSR223 NetRexx script engine.

This might be a good place to introduce programmers to NetRexx if it
becomes a popular learning environment. What would it take to add
NetRexx syntax recognition to Seco?
