Ceylon

This is the 1.3.4-SNAPSHOT "You'll Thank Me Later" release of the Ceylon command line tools. This is a production version of the platform.

Ceylon is a modern, modular, statically typed programming language for the Java and JavaScript virtual machines. The language features a flexible and very readable syntax, a unique and uncommonly elegant static type system, a powerful module architecture, and excellent tooling, including an awesome Eclipse-based IDE.

Ceylon enables the development of cross-platform modules which execute portably in both virtual machine environments. Alternatively, a Ceylon module may target one or the other platform, in which case it may interoperate with native code written for that platform.

Systems where Ceylon is known to work

Since Ceylon is running on the JVM it should work on every platform that supports a Java 7 or 8 compatible JVM. However we have tested the following platforms to make sure it works:

Linux

  • Ubuntu "wily" 15.10 (64 bit) JDK 1.7.0_95 (IcedTea) Node 0.10.25
  • Fedora 23 (64 bit), JDK 1.8.0_77 (OpenJDK)
  • Fedora 22 (64 bit), JDK 1.8.0_72 (OpenJDK)
  • Fedora 22 (64 bit), JDK 1.7.0_71 (Oracle)

Windows

  • Windows 10 Home (64 bit) 1.8.0_77
  • Windows 7 (64 bit) 1.7.0_05 (Oracle)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 JDK 1.7.0_04

OSX

  • OSX 10 Lion (10.8.5) JDK 1.7.0_40 (Oracle) Node 0.10.17
  • OSX 11 El Capitan (10.11.6) JDK 1.7.0_80 (Oracle) Node 0.10.35
