From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Nosica is an object oriented programming language with a syntax in some ways similar to Java. It was originally created to have the ability of C++ with the simple syntax of Java, although the syntax has since slowly evolved away from the Java syntax for greater simpicity and ease-of-use. Nosica is developed as a free software project under the GNU GPL. Nosica is written in Java and compiles to C. The compiler is in an early stage.
Nosica's main features are :
- operators (with a simple way for declaring them infix/postfix/prefix)
- genericity and constraint over genericity
- automatic delegation via the 'proxy' keyword
- multiple interface inheritance and single class inheritance
- distinction between reference and primitive type
- very few First Class Objects (FCO)
- garbage collected
- invariant
- multiple dispatch of methods (allowing covariant methods to be defined)
- tuples
- simple syntax
- metadata
