Hello,
I am new in JASS so i have dl some manuals but i would like that a pro tell me quickly what kind of language it is.
I know objective-C, javascript and php.
First, what means J.A.S.S ?
I would like only a quick description of his functionnement, when does he work in the executing of a map...
Which possibilities/privileges has it on the executing program ?
Thank you.
( excuse me for my bad english but i am french )

It's a method-based (not object oriented) programming language created by Blizzard.

I find it to be most similar to Visual Basic and maybe Delphi without the OOP. I personally know C++, VB, VB.NET, C#.NET, Delphi, Pascal, JavaScript, VBScript, and HTML, so that's what I'm comparing to.

I don't think anyone knows what the acronym means.

JASS is the language of the map's triggers. So any non-melee game-style behavior that exists in a map is thanks to JASS.

JASS has no rights on the executing machine. Nothing even executes JASS code except for Warcraft III, and JASS has no power to affect anything outside of Warcraft III.
