Pike is a dynamic programming language with a syntax similar to Java and C. It is simple to learn, does not require long compilation passes and has powerful built-in data types allowing simple and really fast data manipulation.

int getDex()
{
  int oldDex = Dex;
  Dex = 0;
  return oldDex;
}

private void
show_user(int|string id, void|string full_name)
{
  write("Id: " + id + "\n");
  if (full_name)
    write("Full name: " + full_name + "\n");
}

    I am having a really hard time figuring out what it is about this language that is supposed to make me excited about it.

    quick iterative development cycles, alleviating the need for compiling and linking code before you can run it

    Þat’s a lot of words to say “interpreted.”
