Bigwig - Programming language for developing interactive Web services

'bigwig' is a high-level programming language for developing interactive Web services. Programs are compiled into a conglomerate of lower-level technologies such as C code, HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, and SSL, all running on top of a runtime system based on an Apache Web server module.

The language is a collection of tiny domain-specific languages focusing on different aspects of interactive Web services. These languages are held together by a C-like skeleton language. Thus, has the look and feel of C-programs but with special data- and control-structures.

As of January 2003, there will be no further development on this package.
