« Fan Programming Language

I’m just having a look to Fan and it seems quite a cool language, soon more posts on this.

Fan Programming Language: “Portability
Write code portable to both the Java VIM and the .NET CLR.

Familiar Syntax
Java and C# programmers will feel at home with Fan’s curly brace syntax.

Concurrency
Tackle concurrency with built-in immutability, message passing, and REST oriented transactional memory.

Static and Dynamic Typing
Don’t like the extremes — take the middle of the road.

Elegant APIs
We’re quite obsessive about providing all the key features required for a standard library, but with much less surface area than the APIs found in Java or .NET.

Object Oriented
Everything is an object.

Mixins
Interfaces but with implementation.

Functional
Functions and closures are baked in.

Serialization
Built-in ‘JSON like’ serialisation syntax makes Fan ideal for declarative programming too.

REST
Model data with a unified namespace of resources identified with URIs.
