Falcon is a multithreaded, multi-paradigm interpreted programming language, with a strong focus on readability and simplicity. It is both strongly and dynamically typed, and has automatic garbage collection based on reference counting and a tri-generational garbage collector. In comparison to other languages, it a hybrid of Python and C, with the benefits of Python and the syntax of C.
