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.

Luban's syntax is simple and clean, similar to Java/C++. The author
tries not invent
any new syntax unless necessary. And Luban's object model is property
based like
Java Bean, only more manageable.

Peter Huang created Luban because he always wants better tools. He
always love
scripting languages, though he always misses name space and interface
like Java
when doing scripting. He eventually went out and created Luban: a
scripting language
with its own simple and robust component model tailored for scripting
purpose.
