So TL;DR - Slang is a weak Python-esque interpreted language that's old and horribly outdated, but holy cow would I like to know more about SecDB and the inner workings of what sounds like an incredible piece of software.
If SecDB sounds interesting, check out GemStone/S (http://gemtalksystems.com/).
