About Tcl
Tcl is a very simple programming language. If you have programmed before, you can learn enough to write interesting Tcl programs within a few hours. This page provides a quick overview of the main features of Tcl. After reading this you'll probably be able to start writing simple Tcl scripts on your own; however, we recommend that you consult one of the many available Tcl books for more complete information. Each Tcl command consists of one or more words separated by spaces. In this example there are four words: expr, 20, +, and 10. The first word is the name of a command and the other words are arguments to that command. All Tcl commands consist of words, but different commands treat their arguments differently. The expr command treats all of its arguments together as an arithmetic expression, computes the result of that expression, and returns the result as a string. In the expr command the division into words isn't significant.

Python
The core of extensible programming is defining functions. Python allows mandatory and optional arguments, keyword arguments, and even arbitrary argument lists. Whether you're new to programming or an experienced developer, it's easy to learn and use Python. Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first-time programmer or you're experienced with other languages. The following pages are a useful first step to get on your way to writing programs with Python! The community hosts conferences and meetups to collaborate on code, and much more. Python's documentation will help you along the way, and the mailing lists will keep you in touch. The Python Package Index (PyPI) hosts thousands of third-party modules for Python. Both Python's standard library and the community-contributed modules allow for endless possibilities.

Interfacist
Interfacist is a CUSTOM FRONT END DESIGNER, this front end is known as a CHiP (Custom Hyper Interface Prototype). This CHiP is a rich collection of Controls of different types, controls like textboxes, drop down lists, date and time pickers, buttons, numeric sliders etc. These controls populate a customizable window made of rows and columns. What makes Interfacist Ultra-Powerful is that you can make a super responsive custom interface instantly by writing simple statements in a plain text file. This CHiP directly controls any command line program and can pass whatever values you need as hard-coded arguments or arguments based on control values. So each CHiP is like it's own program, or more accurately an Interface for a program. CHiPs are inherently infinitely flexible and allow you to create functional UI's ranging from very simplistic to super-intricate data driven monster CHiPs. Interfacist allows you to easily create user powerful user interfaces.

LOLCODE
LOLCODE can interpret files from standard input or from a file. Spaces are used to demarcate tokens in the language, although some keyword constructs may include spaces. Multiple spaces and tabs are treated as single spaces and are otherwise irrelevant. Indentation is irrelevant. A command starts at the beginning of a line and a newline indicates the end of a command, except in special cases. Multiple commands can be put on a single line if they are separated by a comma (,). In this case, the comma acts as a virtual newline or a soft command break. Multiple lines can be combined into a single command by including three periods or the Unicode ellipsis character (u2026) at the end of the line. Lines with line continuation can be strung together, many in a row, to allow a single command to stretch over more than one or two lines. As long as each line is ended with three periods, the next line is included, until a line without three periods is reached.

Zypper
Zypper is a command-line package manager for installing, updating, and removing packages. It can also be used to manage repositories. Zypper works and behaves as a regular command-line tool. It features subcommands, arguments, and options that can be used to perform specific tasks. Zypper offers several benefits compared to graphical package managers. Being a command-line tool, Zypper is faster in use and light on resources. Zypper actions can be scripted. Zypper can be used on systems that do not have graphical desktop environments. This makes it suitable for use with servers and remote machines. The simplest way to execute Zypper is to type its name, followed by a command. Additionally, you can choose from one or more global options by typing them immediately before the command. Some commands require one or more arguments. Executing subcommands in the Zypper shell, and using global Zypper options are not supported.
