Golo (Programming Language)

Golo is a language built on the Java virtual machine. It is currently in it's beta stages. It uses invokedynamic support, a feature integrated into Java 7 that allows for languages built off of it to handle methods as objects, add and remove properties from objects, and dynamic typing.

It is a functional language that allows for lambda support built in.

Usage

A simple "Hello World" program is implemented below.

module hello.world

function main = |args| { 
  println("Hello world")
}
