Mirah

Mirah is a new way of looking at runs on vm::JVM languages. In attempting to build a replacement for Java, we have followed a few guiding principals:

• No runtime library Mirah does not impose any jar files upon you. YOU decide what your application's dependencies should be.
• Clean, simple syntax We have borrowed heavily from derived from::Ruby, but added static typing and minor syntax changes to support the JVM's type system. The result is pleasing to the eye, but as powerful as Java.
• Metaprogramming and macros Mirah supports various mechanisms for compile-time metaprogramming and macros. Much of the "open class" feel of dynamic languages is possible in Mirah.
• No performance penalty Because Mirah directly targets the JVM's type system and JVM bytecode, it performs exactly as well as Java.
