Java vs. RazorSQL vs. Vyper vs. ZenScript Comparison Chart

RazorSQL is an SQL query tool, database browser, SQL editor, and database administration tool for Windows, macOS, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris. RazorSQL has been tested on over 40 databases, can connect to databases via either JDBC or ODBC. Browse database objects such as schemas, tables, columns, primary and foreign keys, views, indexes, procedures, functions, and more. Visual tools to create, alter, describe, execute, and drop database objects such as tables, views, indexes, stored procedures, functions, triggers, and more. Includes multi-tabular display of queries with options for filtering, sorting, searching, and much more. Import data from various formats such as delimited files, Excel spreadsheets, and fixed-width files. Includes a robust relational database (HSQLDB) that is up and running with no manual configuration out of the box.

ZenScript originated from MineTweaker where a simple programming language is needed to allow users without programming knowledge to be able to execute simple commands by following the tutorials for it. Originally MineTweaker had a simple one-line-at-a-time parsed scripting system, but it quickly became clear that it wasn't flexible enough, so a simple parsed language was created. This parsed language worked quite well but was very inefficient as each value was wrapped into its own object. ZenScript allows mixed typed and typeless behavior. You don't need to define types anywhere, the compile will infer them where possible and exhibit typeless behavior when the type is effectively unknown. In nearly all the cases, the type is perfectly known and execution runs at native Java speed. Since there are types, they can be documented and enforced.
