IBM: "LotusScript is IBM Lotus Corporation's powerful, object-oriented, Basic programming language that provides developers with essential tools for working with Domino/Notes databases and enterprise data as well. It is a procedural language, and object classes can be created to augment the LotusScript extension classes (LSX). LotusScript is optimized for, and excels at, backend integration and input/output processing under Notes, but it cannot be run from HTTP source rendered in a Web browser."
