Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. It is the successor to JPython.

In this project we aim to develop scheme libraries for developing various web applications (especially servlets and xml-based web services). Our approach is to use jscheme (an open source implementation of scheme in Java) as the core language which allow

Bean Sheet is an interpreted Java spreadsheet. At its core is Bean Shell, an open source Java interpreter. The potential of marrying a Java interpreter with a spreadsheet allows a single document to be a powerful application in its own right.

Lightweight, fast, Java-centric Lua interpreter written for JME and JSE, with string, table, package, math, io, os, debug, coroutine & luajava libraries, JSR-223 bindings, all metatags, weak tables and unique direct lua-to-java-bytecode compiling.

SISC is an extensible Java based interpreter of the algorithmic language Scheme. SISC uses modern interpretation techniques, and handily outperforms all existing Java interpreters (often by more than an order of magnitude).

JPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. Maintenance and evolution of the project has moved! please see http://www.jpype.org for the latest version

Tcl/Java consists of two pieces of software. Jacl is an implementation of a Tcl interpreter written entirely in Java. Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that provides access to Java from inside Tcl. One can prototype Java code using Tcl, and much more.
