About BoxLang
BoxLang is a modern, dynamically and loosely typed scripting language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that supports Object-Oriented (OO) and Functional Programming (FP) constructs. It can be deployed on multiple platforms and all operating systems, web servers, Java application servers, AWS Lambda, WebAssembly, and more. BoxLang combines many features from different programming languages to provide developers with a modern, fluent, and expressive syntax. BoxLang has been designed to be a highly modular and dynamic language that takes advantage of all the modern features of the JVM. It is dynamically typed, which means there's no need to declare types. It can perform type inference, auto-casting, and promotions between different types. The language adjusts to its deployed runtime and can add, remove, or modify methods and properties at runtime.

Objective-C
Objective-C is the primary programming language you use when writing software for OS X and iOS. It’s a superset of the C programming language and provides object-oriented capabilities and a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods. It also adds language-level support for object graph management and object literals while providing dynamic typing and binding, deferring many responsibilities until runtime. When building apps for OS X or iOS, you’ll spend most of your time working with objects. Those objects are instances of Objective-C classes, some of which are provided for you by Cocoa or Cocoa Touch and some of which you’ll write yourself.

Scala
Scala combines object-oriented and functional programming in one concise, high-level language. Scala's static types help avoid bugs in complex applications, and its JVM and JavaScript runtimes let you build high-performance systems with easy access to huge ecosystems of libraries. The Scala compiler is smart about static types. Most of the time, you need not tell it the types of your variables. Instead, its powerful type inference will figure them out for you. In Scala, case classes are used to represent structural data types. They implicitly equip the class with meaningful toString, equals and hashCode methods, as well as the ability to be deconstructed with pattern matching. In Scala, functions are values, and can be defined as anonymous functions with a concise syntax.
