| | The Unofficial Pike Programming Language FAQ |
 | | Pike is an object-oriented, interpreted programming language with a syntax similar to Java and C, high-level data types, automatic memory management, highly efficient string handling, easy to use APIs for network and database programming, and several years of active development behind it. |
 | | Pike's implementation is heavily optimized, and both the language and its libraries are under continuing development; its performance compares favorably to all scripting languages on the market. |
 | | Pike is, however, as I try to argue here, suitable for much more than a webserver extension language, and one of the top purposes of this document is to alert more programmers to its advantages. |
