Noop

Noop (/ˈnoʊ.ɒp/, like NOP) was a project from Google aiming to develop a new programming language. Noop attempts to blend the best features of "old" and "new" languages, while syntactically encouraging good programming practice. Noop is initially targeted to run on the Java Virtual Machine.^[1]

According to one of the project owners, "It's dead".^[2]

Examples

import noop.Application;
import noop.Console;

class HelloWorld(Console console) implements Application {

  Int main(List args) {
    String s = "Hello World!";

    console.println(s);
    return 0;
  }
}
