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

Noop (pronounced /ˈnoʊ ɑp/, like NOP) is a new 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 industry best-practices. Noop is initially targeted to run on the Java Virtual Machine.

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;
  }
}
