The project I am offering is called New Scripting Language (abb. NSL). Its 
purpose is to provide a flexible multipurpose but light-weight scripting 
language with special attention to processing multilingual texts. The key 
feature of NSL is using finite-state automata which allow to describe easily 
complex string transformations and recognition patterns. Unlike other scripting 
languages, it operates not on plain text but on abstract streams with 
HTML/XML-like structure which physical layout may be at all different (e.g. 
TeX, RTF etc). It possess all the features a decent language should have: 
procedures, control statements and even modules. The language is extensible, so 
that a C functions may be attached to it (via shared libraries). It is not 
object-oriented but OO may be easily modelled if necessary. It has inherent 
capabilities for CGI programming.





Now the project is hosted on SourceForge (see http://nsl.sourceforge.net and 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsl) but being there seems absolutely useless 
to me since till now I got absolutely no feedback or any signs of interest at 
all (though statistics show it is downloaded). Hope that GNU-based community 
will be more interested.





Note: I have already tried to submit this project but Mr Guillaume Morin told 
me to add copyright notices to sources, so sources under CVS tree now have it.
