Crack aims to provide the ease of development of a scripting language with the performance of a compiled language. The crack language itself derives concepts from C++, Java and Python, incorporating object-oriented programming, operator overloading and strong typing.
The "crack" program is a "script executor" that compiles source to machine code on the fly (it will cache the code to intermediate formats as appropriate). A static (ahead of time) compiler is also in development.
