About Dino

These are questions about Dino, design decisions and purpose, etc.

Why is Dino not a “true” Object-Oriented Language?

Stated simply – there are enough OO languages out there. Dino was designed from the ground up to be a script-oriented language which is always part of a larger framework. If you need OO concepts, you can define flexible classes in the host language, import them, and use them.

That said, Dino recognizes that there are certain aspects of OO that are helpful. For example, when importing other scripts, Dino allows you to alias them and access their members with dot syntax, creating the illusion of a basic OO system.

Is Dino Fast?

We'll be expanding the documentation in this section soon. Please contact us if you have questions.
