Line 1:
Little is a compiled-to-byte-code language that draws heavily from [[Category:C]] C and Perl. From C, Little gets C syntax, simple types (int, float, string), and complex types (arrays, structs). From Perl, Little gets associative arrays and regular expressions (PCRE). And from neither, Little gets its own simplistic form of classes.
 
The name "Little", abbreviated as simply "L", alludes to the language's simplicity. The idea was to distill the useful parts of other languages and combine them into a scripting language, with type checking, classes (not full-blown OO but useful none the less), and direct access to a cross-platform graphical toolkit.
