Question

Are there any Ceylon specific VMs? Or do all available ceylon compilers produce JVM bytecode?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Currently (two years later), there are production-ready compilers for the JVM and JavaScript. There are also two community-driven projects to create compilers for:

  • the Dart VM, and
  • LLVM.

The success of these community-driven projects will depend a lot upon how much community interest and contribution they attract.

OTHER TIPS

Ceylon isn't complete yet, but from what I understand it is intended to be first and foremost a language specification more than a specific compiler implementation, so that what it compiles to is flexible.

To demonstrate its target code agnosticism, Ceylon currently is developing reference compilers to the jvm and also to javascript.
