DECLAN is a decisioning langauge; is both procedural and an object-oriented programming language built for data analysis across a wide range of operating systems and computer hardware. G.E. Ozz Nixon Jr, the lead developer of the DECLAN Pro language and environment strives to provide a commercial grade language built for the average business person.

Design

DECLAN Pro shall provide end-user programmers with

• a language similar to Object Pascal while providing the easy and flexibility to JavaScript.
• a compiler, just-in-time compiler and interpreter.
• a virtual machine framework; so code from one operating system will function the same on other operating systems.

History

DECLAN Pro started as a collection of (or Best Of) different scripting solutions; Blaise (2003) from David Butler, DXJavaScript (2001) from G.E. Ozz Nixon Jr. and Alexander Baranovski. The initial intention was to allow C++ and PASCAL programmers to co-exist on the same project, by providing an environment which used Windows DLL files to extend the capabilities of their project while providing a mechanism for interpretation and later just-in-time compilation. This approach to modular development and implementation is how DECLAN Pro grew so quickly; as the core language provides standard variable management, logic comparisons, loops, etc. while keeping hardware and operating system specific calls external of DECLAN Pro itself.
