'''Tea''' is a [[High-level programming language|high -level]] [[scripting language]] for the [[Java platform|Java]] environment. It combines features of [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]], [[Tcl]], and [[Java (programming language)|Java]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/javaservletprogr00hunt_0|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/javaservletprogr00hunt_0/page/423 423]|quote=tea programming language.|title=Java Servlet Programming: Help for Server Side Java Developers|first1=Jason|last1=Hunter|first2=William|last2=Crawford|date=April 3, 2001|publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc."|isbn=9780596000400|via=Internet Archive}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://digitalcommons.wpi.edu/mqp-all/5348|title=A Distance learning system for Tea programming.|first1=Khue|last1=Huynh|first2=Leena|last2=Razzaq|date=January 1, 2002|journal=Major Qualifying Projects (All Years)}}</ref>

==Features==

* Integrated support for all major programming paradigms.

** [[Functional programming]] language.

** Functions are first -class objects.

** Scheme-like closures are intrinsic to the language.

** Support for object -oriented programming.

* Modular libraries with autoloading on -demand facilities.

* Large base of core functions and classes.

** String and list processing.

Line 33 ⟶ 34:

** Database access.

** [[XML]] processing.

* 100% Purepure Java.

** The Tea interpreter is implemented in Java.

** Tea runs anywhere with a Java 1.6 [[Java virtual machine|JVM]] or higher.

== Interpreter alternatives ==

* Tea is a proprietary language. Its interpreter is subject to a non-free license. On the other hand, aA project called "destea", which released as Language::Tea in [[CPAN]], provides an alternative to the proprietary interpreter, by generating Java Codecode based on the Tea code.

* There is an open source compiler known as TeaClipse<ref>[http://code.google.com/p/teaclipse/ TeaClipse] from [[Google]]</ref> is an open-source compiler that uses a JavaCC-generated parser to parse and then compile Tea source to the proprietary Tea bytecode. The author of TeaClipse has expressed interest in enhancing TeaClipse to produce Java bytecode.
