* No runtime library
Mirah does not impose any jar files upon you. YOU decide what your application’s dependencies should be.
* Clean, simple syntax
We have borrowed heavily from [[Ruby]], but added static typing and minor syntax changes to support the JVM’s type system. The result is pleasing to the eye, but as powerful as Java.
* Metaprogramming and macros
Mirah supports various mechanisms for compile-time metaprogramming and macros. Much of the “open class” feel of dynamic languages is possible in Mirah.
* No performance penalty
Because Mirah directly targets the JVM’s type system and JVM bytecode, it performs exactly as well as Java.
