Noop

Noop (/ˈnoʊ.ɒp/, like no-op) was a project by Google engineers Alex Eagle and Christian Gruber aiming to develop a new programming language. Noop attempted to blend the best features of "old" and "new" languages, while syntactically encouraging well accepted programming best-practices. Noop was initially targeted to run on the Java Virtual Machine.[1]

This article is about Noop, the programming language. For the processor instruction (usually written "NOP"), see NOP (code). For other uses, see Noop (disambiguation).

Noop progressed past its initial proposals into a limited interpreter, but according to the project owners they no longer intend to pursue the language any further.[2] Among the reasons cited for discontinuing work on the language was the initial release of Kotlin, which achieves many of the language goals of Noop.[3]

Examples

Hello world in Noop

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;
  }
}
