Coco programming language
I have just heard of a language called CoCo. Has anyone heard of this and what do people use this for?
i have heard this is used for IPhone applications!
Is this language the future.

According to the Wikipedia, Coco is a pre-processor for the FORTRAN programming language. FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) was the very first programming language that did not require detailed hardware knowledge to use. Came out c. 1955 I believe. But it's still in use, so it has been "the future" for a long, long time.
OTOH you may be thinking of Cocoa, which is a programming environment for developing applications for Mac OS X. So it's likely used for iPhone apps as well. But I am just guessing.
Cordially, David

Yes i think i am thinking of cocoa? Do you suggest that this language will be widely used on many handheld computers like the Iphone?

The language would be Objective-C. Cocoa is the wider development stack, including tools, libraries and runtimes. Read more at http://developer.apple.com/cocoa/
I doubt that you will see non-Apple devices making use of a Cocoa runtime. I would expect it to be a collection of proprietary software limited for use in Apple products only.

Coco/R combines the functionality of the well-known UNIX tools lex and yacc, to form an extremely easy to use compiler generator that generates recursive descent parsers, their associated scanners, and (in some versions) a driver program, from attributed grammars (written using EBNF syntax with attributes and semantic actions) which conform to the restrictions imposed by LL(1) parsing (rather than LALR parsing, as allowed by yacc). The user has to add modules for symbol table handling, optimization, and code generation in order to get a running compiler. Coco/R can also be used to construct other syntax-based applications that have less of a "compiler" flavour than a parser for a programming language.
