Java (programming language)
Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities...

History
Gosu began in 2002 as a scripting language called GScript at Guidewire Software. It was used to configure business logic in Guidewire's applications and was more of a simple rule definition language. In its original incarnation it followed ECMAScript

guidelines. Guidewire enhanced the scripting language over the next 8 years, and released Gosu 0.7 beta to the community in November 2010. The 0.8 beta was released in December 2010, and 0.8.6 beta was released in mid 2011 with additional typeloaders, making Gosu capable of loading XML schema definition files (xsd's) and XML documents as native Gosu types.
Examples
Fibonacci
function fib(n : int) : int {
if (n < 2) return n
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}
print(fib(20))
XML
/*
Any XSD can be placed into a Gosu source directory, and types will automatically appear in the system that
can be used to manipulate instance documents that conform to that schema. This example shows
manipulation of a schema using the schema schema that ships with Gosu in the gw.xsd.w3c.xmlschema package.
var schema = new gw.xsd.w3c.xmlschema.Schema
schema.TargetNamespace = new java.net.URI( "urn:example.com" )
schema.Element[0].Name = "root"
schema.Element[0].ComplexType.Sequence.Element[0].Name = "child"
schema.Element[0].ComplexType.Sequence.Element[0].Type = schema.$Namespace.qualify( "string" )
schema.print
