Introduction

POCA is a yet another scripting language, which's still in the in-progress phase, i.e. the syntax and the builtin standard library objects aren't finalized yet.

This wiki shows the features of POCA. POCA is a very powerful scripting language, which uses some of the concepts of ECMAScript, Lua, Squirrel, Wren, Nasal, Ruby, Python and Perl. POCA supports Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in two flavours (prototype-based and class-based) but also functional programming and procedural programming.

In POCA is everything a expression, there are no statements. i.e. something like var a = block { var b = 1; for(reg c = 0; c < 16; c++){ b += c + c}; b; }; and var a = if(b < 1){1}else if(b < 4){2}else{3}; are valid POCA codes.

People familiar with other programming languages, and scripting languages like JavaScript/ECMAScript in particular, are usually able to learn POCA rather quickly.
