Huginn is a computer programming language with following traits:

interpretedmultiplatform, what you type is what you got
imperativeuse statements to change a program's state
functional stylefunctions, lambdas and closures are first class citizens
object orienteduser defined types, composition, inheritance, exceptions
introspective, non-reflective type systemuser defined types are fixed and immutable at runtime,
no monkey patching
strongly typedabsolutely no implicit value conversions and no implicit type coercion
dynamically typedfinal type consistency checks are done at runtime
duck typinga set of members determine the valid semantics of a type
no quirks guaranteesemantics is consistent across types in all contexts
support arbitrary precision calculations per built-in type precision is restricted only by the amount of hardware resources

interpreter/executor trivially embeddable in C++ code

#include <yaal/tools/hhuginn.hxx>
void foo( HStreamInterface& src_ ) {
	HHuginn h;
	h.load( src_ );
	h.preprocess();
	if ( h.parse() && h.compile() && h.execute() ) {
		cout << "ok" << endl;
	}
}

Example program written in Huginn language:

Editor (vim) - pow.hgn (Try it online!) [+line no]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

#! /bin/sh
exec huginn -E "${0}" "${@}"
#! huginn

/* First Huginn program. */

import Algorithms as algo;

main( argv_ ) {
	print( "Hello World!\n" );
	argc = size( argv_ );
	print( "number of arguments: {}\n".format( argc ) );
	for ( i, arg : algo.enumerate( argv_ ) ) {
		print( "argv_[{}]: {}\n".format( i, arg ) );
	}
	if ( argc >= 3 ) {
		base = number( argv_[1] );
		exp = number( argv_[2] );
		print( "{} ^ {} = {}\n".format( argv_[1], argv_[2], base ^ exp ) );
	} else {
		print( "Not enough arguments to calculate power.\n" );
	}
	return ( 0 );
}

Output:
