Ok, Here is list we have elaborate on IRC:
One basic interpreters. It's a question of test, like it or not, a lot of us start with basic. ---------- Yet Another BASIC interpreter Implements the most common (and simple) elements of the language plus some graphics facilities. Anyone who has ever written BASIC programs on a C-64 should feel at home. A LOGO, it has been widely used some time ago. There is a graphic version glogo, but not stable enought. Glogo is fork of UCBLOGO. ---------- UCBLOGO a dialect of lisp using turtle graphics famous for teaching kids. This is the UC Berkeley implementation of logo written primarily by Daniel Van Blerkom, Brian Harvey, Michael Katz, and Douglas Orleans. This version of logo is featured in Brian Harvey's book _Computer_Science_Logo_Style, _Volume_1: _Symbolic_Computing_ (ISBN 0-262-58151-5). This version provides the following special features: Python, a very nice language to learn programming: ---------- idle 1.5.2-16 An IDE for Python using Tkinter IDLE is an Integrated Development Environment for Python. IDLE is written using Tkinter and therefore quite platform-independent. ----------pythondoc 0.6-2 Generate reference manuals and indices from Python objects. Pythondoc is an experimental tool to extract information from Python objects and generate reference manuals and indices. Currently formatting modules for a homegrown XML format and HTML 4.0 are included. If you want to use the GUI, you'll have to install the python-pmw and python-tk packages as well. ----------python-base 1.5.2-16 An interactive object-oriented scripting language. An interpretive, interactive object oriented computer language, includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics. ----------python-tk 1.5.2-16 Writing Tk applications with Python (Tkinter). A module for writing portable GUI applications with Python using Tk. Also known as Tkinter. ----------python-elisp 1.5.2-16 Emacs-lisp python-mode for the scripting language Python. If you install this with XEmacs 20 or 21, it will replace the included python-mode.el, which may or may not be a more recent version (use "C-h v py-version" to compare). We cannot do this list without a lisp dialect. DrScheme is a very complete environment, probably the most friendly of our selected list. ----------drscheme 103-10 Scheme Programming Environment This is a Scheme Programming Environment, designed for use within an educational setting. The faculty and staff at Rice University developed this package to be used in programming curricula, as a supplement to mathematics courses, or for general programming instruction in a liberal arts setting. It includes its own IDE (which runs under X) and is similar in some respects to Emacs (most noticably in its keybindings). It has an integrated help system and can run one of four modes (beginning, intermediate, advanced, complete). Each level exposes successively more features and options to the user. The goal of this configuration is to protect novice users from the more arcane behavior of Scheme under certain cases.
