It is a high-level interpreted programming language in the spirit of Python, Lua, or Javascript. Lox is dynamically typed, has garbage collection and supports functional programming idioms with closures and first-class functions. It also includes a simple class-based object system. Lox provides a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for user interaction. Here is an overview of the Lox language.
It is an educational single-board computer, designed by Wichit Sirichote, using the ancient Motorola 68008 CPU. It is mainly intended to learn programming the 68k in machine language. It has no operating system, just a little monitor program and communicates with a terminal (emulator) via RS232. If you want to buy/build one, contact Wichit via his web site.
Lox was designed as a toy language to study the implementation of interpreters, but due to its small size and simplicity it's very well suited as a scripting language for a single board computer with very restricted resources.
The Lox68K port contains many extensions to make it a useful programming system including access to the Kit's peripherals and integrating machine level coding. I wish I had such a system in the 80ies when learning computing, but had to use stupid BASIC...
For testing and comparison, Lox68k compiles to Windows/Linux executables, too.
