Fyi: not java but a java derived language with similar aims (and initial language features) to kotlin (and pascal).

So a JVM language? I'm asking because the site won't load for me.

Marc: the two links to Fire and Water in your post link back to the post's own URL, rather than to [Fire] and [Water].

Fire. http://www.elementscompiler.com/elements/fire/

Uh... I don't agree for IntelliJ/Android Studio, and I'm sure some people love to work with NetBeans and Eclipse.

It’s a superset of Java with some additional features

Yeah... I love IntelliJ. I use it for everything.

Someone should just do C# for Java and be done with it...

So, a JVM language that’s not much more than just a C# clone, but with no IDE or compiler support for Linux?

This sounds like it’s not going to be successful soon. In the long term, if you want to compete with Java, you’ll need good integration with existing IDEs, and with existing JVM languages.

I love Eclipse and am unable to cope with the laggy, crashing trainwreck that is Android Studio. The fucking joke is: it runs the build as another process, yet still manages to be completely unresponsive and prone to crashing.
