Tea is an interpreted scripting language recommended for fast prototyping, and supports many programming paradigms which allow it to scale well for larger software projects. An I*Tea Server parses documents dynamically, so there is no need to recompile anything after changing Tea source code.
I*Tea has a policy of caching parsed documents, only re-interpreting them if the modification date has changed. Careful use of this feature allows expert site administrators (which also know the software architecture of the application and how Tea caches libraries) to change code/patch on line applications without any visible disturbance for on-line clients.
