Mirah is a customizable programming language featuring static types,

local type inference and a heavily Ruby-inspired syntax. Mirah

currently includes a typer/compiler backend for the JVM which can

output JVM bytecode.

FEATURES

-----------------

* Ruby-like syntax

* Compiles to .class

* Fast as Java

* No runtime library

SYNOPSIS

-----------------

    mirah 

    mirah -e "inline script"

    mirahc 

    mirahc -e "inline script" # produces DashE.class

REQUIREMENTS

-----------------

* Java 1.7 or higher.

INSTALL

-----------------

### RUBY

If your gem and rake are not from JRuby, prefix the commands with `jruby -S`

    $ gem install mirah

### JAR

Mirah is distributed as a jar through maven central. You can download the latest jar from

[maven.org](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.mirah%22%20a%3A%22mirah%22).

### ZIP

You can also install Mirah from a zip file. Download the latest stable

release from https://github.com/mirah/mirah/releases.

Extract it, and add `bin` to your `$PATH` to be able to use `mirah`, `mirahc`, etc.

### SOURCE

Setup building locally and installing from source, you'll need jruby 1.7.12 or

higher. Then just follow these commands.

#### To get the repository setup locally run the following:

    $ git clone http://github.com/mirah/mirah.git

    $ cd mirah

    $ bundle install

#### To install mirah as a gem from source:

    $ rake gem

    $ gem install pkg/mirah-*.gem

#### To create the mirahc jar:

    $ rake dist/mirahc.jar

This will create a mirahc.jar file in dist that you can run to compile mirah source files.
