Cameleon (programming language)

Cameleon is an interpreted, dynamically typed programming language focused on rapid prototyping and ease of use. It was developed with the goal of providing a flexible and intuitive environment for creating applications and scripts, particularly in areas like data manipulation and scripting. The language emphasizes a clean syntax and a relatively small core set of built-in functions, relying on external libraries for more specialized functionality. Cameleon's design philosophy prioritizes readability and expressiveness, making it accessible to both novice and experienced programmers. Key features often associated with Cameleon include automatic memory management through garbage collection, support for various data types including strings, numbers, and lists, and a modular architecture that encourages code reuse. Although it has not achieved widespread popularity like some other scripting languages, Cameleon has found niche applications in specific industries and educational settings where its simplicity and flexibility are valued. The language's development has been community-driven, with contributions from various individuals and organizations over the years.
