|site=http://www.mirah.org/}}Mirah is a new way of looking at [[JVM]] languages. In attempting to build a replacement for [[Java]], we have followed a few guiding principals:
* No runtime library
Mirah does not impose any jar files upon you. YOU decide what your application’sapplication's dependencies should be.
* Clean, simple syntax
We have borrowed heavily from [[Ruby]], but added static typing and minor syntax changes to support the JVM’sJVM's type system. The result is pleasing to the eye, but as powerful as Java.
* [[Metaprogramming]] and macros
Mirah supports various mechanisms for compile-time metaprogramming and macros. Much of the “open"open class”class" feel of dynamic languages is possible in Mirah.
* No performance penalty
Because Mirah directly targets the JVM’sJVM's type system and JVM [[bytecode]], it performs exactly as well as Java.
