About Kawa
Kawa was created in 1996 by Per Bothner. It aimed to provide a platform for implementing Scheme and other languages on the Java Virtual Machine, allowing for efficient execution and easy integration with Java libraries.
Strengths of Kawa include efficient execution on the JVM, seamless Java integration, and support for multiple languages. Weaknesses include limited community support and occasional performance overhead compared to native implementations. Competitors include Clojure, Scala, and Groovy, which also target the JVM with different design philosophies and language features.
