1. About

Nemerle is a new hybrid (functional, object-oriented and imperative) programming language for the .NET platform.

Key features of the language include:

• simplicity
• C#-like syntax
• easy to use object system (derived directly from the .NET)
• easy access to both functional and imperative features
• powerful code-generating macros
• variants
• pattern matching
• static and on-demand dynamic typing
• type inference.

We plan to make the language full CLS consumer and producer soon.

  We're heading for the 0.1 release around Feb 15. IL code generator is now fully operational, we also can export and import Nemerle types in DLLs. Macros has undergone much redesign.
• Jan 4 2004
  Paweł Olszta works on IL code generation using System.Reflection.Emit to replace our current approach with C# compiler in the middle. He was also working on Nemerle type export/import using extended attributes. Michal Moskal has implemented tail recursion elimination, some limited type inference and rewritten parser in Nemerle. Kamil Skalski has been working on macros -- several macros are fully functional now (printf, for, using). He also rewrite lexer in Nemerle. Compiler contains no C# sources any more. Dawid Duda has written few standard library modules.
