Pawn is just for SA:MP? if it is not, how can I use pawn for programming others thing not related to SA:MP?

EDIT: I thought It was specially made for SA-MP, you can't use it for anything else. There's other languages you can use for things not related to SA-MP.

Read the link v1kinG just posted.

An introduction to the pawn language and abstract machine from a programmer's perspective was published in the October 1999 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal —but at the time, the language was called Small.

Wut

It is or was used a lot for Microcontrollers, games (servers/interfaces mostly), and many more.

Pawn even was developed further than the version SAMP uses, so that doesn't make sense at all.

As far i know, PAWN its for Counter Strike 1.6 servers and SA-MP. You cant do anything else with it

Uhm, searching a bit deeper i found this: https://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawnprojects.htm Seems pawn have other usages but i think its pretty limited rather other languages as C++/Java/C# etc

Edit: NaS beat me to it

In the "about" page on the .exe program, it says it's developed from spookie for SA:MP. I thought it was made special for SAMP.

What .exe? Pawno? That's a IDE not a scripting language.

Yes, you could implement the virtual machine in almost any program, just like SAMP did.
