2/9/2005(Edison, NJ) Today is Chinese New Year, happy year of rooster to everybody! And we announce the birth of a new programming language: Luban. Luban is a component oriented scripting language created by Xiaochuan(Peter) Huang in New Jersey, USA.
Peter Huang created Luban because he cant get no satisfaction. He always wants something easier when using Java, and he always misses name space and interface when doing scripting. He eventually went out and created Luban: a scripting language with a simple and robust component model tailored for scripting.You may say Luban is positioned somewhere between Perl and Java.
