I have a couple of claims I like to make, but to
keep me honest I'd like to know if I'm wrong about:
- Kawa is the oldest currently-active functional language on the JVM.
(Kawa dates back to 1996.)
- Kawa is the oldest currently-active "scripting language" on the JVM.
(For some definition of "scripting language"!)
- Kawa is the language (active or not) with the oldest compiler for
the JVM, not counting Java or Java dialects. By "compiler" I
primarily compilation directly to JVM bytescodes (.class files or
ClassLoader.defineClass), though I'm also curious about
languages that compiled to Java source code.
(Kawa compiled to JVM bytecodes in 1996.)
Anyone know of counter-examples?
