Ceylon is an object-oriented, strongly statically typed programming language with an emphasis on immutability, created by Red Hat. Ceylon programs run on the Java Virtual Machine, and can be compiled to JavaScript. The language design focuses on readability, predictability, toolability, modularity, and metaprogrammability.
Important features of Ceylon include:
- a type system enforcing null safety and list element existence at compile time;
- regular syntax and semantics, avoiding special cases and primitively-defined constructs in favor of syntactic sugar;
- support for generic programming and metaprogramming, with reified generics;
- modularity built into the language, based on JBoss modules, interoperable with OSGi and Maven; and
- powerful tools, including an Eclipse-based IDE.
