Noop (pronounced /ˈnoʊ.ɒp/, like NOP) was a project from Google aiming to develop a new programming language. Noop attempts to blend the best features of "old" and "new" languages, while syntactically encouraging industry best-practices. Noop is initially targeted to run on the Java Virtual Machine.^[1]

According to one of the project owners, "it's dead".^[2]

Examples

Hello world in Noop

import noop.Application;
import noop.Console;
 
class HelloWorld(Console console) implements Application {
 
  Int main(List args) {
    String s = "Hello World!";
 
    console.println(s);
    return 0;
  }
}
