— a lightweight dynamic language for the JVM.

module hello.World

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

 

The world didn’t need another JVM language.
So we built yet another one. A simple one.

Foundations

Golo is a simple dynamic, weakly-typed language that favours explicit over implicit. You should become a Golo programmer within hours, not days.

Invokedynamic

Built from day 1 with invokedynamic, Golo takes advantage of the latest advances of the JVM. It is also a showcase on how to build a language runtime with invokedynamic.

Origins

While we have great plans for Golo in our research projects, we also think that it can be useful for the larger Java community.
