and then tries to be a very smooth lateral transition for java developers. So, yeah, Gosu isn’t revolutionary in many ways: it takes good ideas from C#, Ruby, etc. I’m one of the gosu developers, the guy who gave the presentation to the SacJUG. It’s got real usage, and real reason for existence (a particular niche, but hopefully that will expand with open sourcing).

In other words, it won’t just be a “toy” or “hobby” or “intellectual language weenie” project. So Gosu support will be strong – backed up by a company that sells to multi-billion dollar insurance companies. The developer said they’ve been using Gosu internally and with their customer base (multi-billion dollar insurance companies) for a long time, but they are now open sourcing to help create a buzz, and get more people knowing the language. Support of C#-ish cutting edge features like lambdas, extension methods, and delegates (although a Gosu delegate is a bit different than a C# delegate). Support for both OOP and Functional Programming.

Static typing (unlike Groovy), for compiler checks, and IDE/editor code completion. One of the developers of Gosu just did a presentation at my local (Sacramento, CA), Java User Group.
