Dao is an object-oriented scripting language with dynamic-typing variables supporting complex data structures. Dao also provides string regular expression matching functionality with direct syntax supports. It has built-in numerical data types such as complex number and multi-dimensional numeric array, and their corresponding operations and computations are very convenient in Dao. Multi-threaded programming is also well supported by the language. It support automatic memory management by using a concurrent garbage collector. It has transparent interfaces to C programming language, and can be easily extended by C/C++. Moreover, it is very light and efficient, well suitable for embedding.
