Grading the different aspects of Calico functionality in terms of the supported languages.

Langauge Status

Language	Overall Stability	Module Suport	Documentation and Examples	Language Interoperation	Execution Visualization	Written-In
Calico Python	3	3	1 (examples need reorganization, cleanup; need more local docs, reference manual)	3	3	C# (DLR)
Calico Jigsaw	3	3	2 (13 examples)	2	3	C#
Calico Scheme	3	2	1 (11 examples; need docs)	2	2	Scheme, translated to C#
Calico Console	3	2	1 (11 examples; need docs)	2	2	Python
Calico Ruby	2	2	1 (5 examples; need docs)	3		C# (DLR)
Calico Boo	2	2	1 (3 examples; need docs)	1		C#
Calico Java	2					Java, converted to CLR via IKVM
Calico Basic	2					Python
Calico Logo	2					Python
Calico BrainScrew	2					Python
Calico Spreadsheet	2					C#
Calico CSharp	1					C#, via Mono
Calico FSharp	1					F#

Overall Stability
- 3: Strong stability; well-tested
- 2: Medium stability; not thoughly-tested, used lightly in class
- 1: Weak or unknown stability
Module Suport
- 3: Strongly supported
- 2: Medium support; some known limitations
- 1: Week modules support; needs work
Examples
- 3: Many examples showing a variety of modules
- 2: Some examples, but need more
- 1: Very little examples; some may be broken
Language Interoperation
- 3: Well-integrated into Calico and fully developed language interoperation
- 2: Some integration, and interoperation
- 1: Weak or no integration, and language interoperation
Execution Visualization
- 3: Single-Stepping + Break-Points + Flow Highlighting
- 2: Some support for execution visualization
- 1: No support for execution visualization

Stability and experience with language/module pairs.

Number of examples for each language/module pair.
