About Mirah

Mirah was created in 2009 by Charles Nutter. It was developed to provide a statically-typed language with Ruby-like syntax that could run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The goal was to combine the expressiveness of Ruby with the performance and type safety of Java.

Mirah's strengths included its Ruby-like syntax, static typing, and efficient JVM bytecode compilation. Its weaknesses were a smaller community, limited library support, and less mature tooling compared to more established languages. Competitors included JRuby, Groovy, Scala, and Kotlin.
