Programming paradigms: Object-oriented, imperative

Mirah (formerly Duby) has been a programming language based on Ruby language syntax, local type inference, hybrid static–dynamic type system, and a pluggable compiler toolchain.

Mirah was created by Charles Oliver Nutter to be “a ‘Ruby-like’ language, probably a subset of Ruby syntax, that [could] compile to solid, fast, idiomatic JVM bytecode.” The word mirah refers to the gemstone ruby in the Javanese language, a play on the concept of Ruby in Java.
