Snap is a tiny optionally typed object oriented language with first class functions and coroutines. The interpreter targets the JVM including Android variants such as ART and Dalvik.

Thanks, I noticed this a while back and I have been intending to rename it .. writing a language/interpreter is the easy part, coming up with a name is the tricky bit ... suggestions welcome.

Its pretty cool to have your own language + source code of games like mario!
Is there a page where you compare language features - i.e what motivated you to create your own?
Also, what is your team size and how long you all are behind this?

Thanks, its just me working on it as a hobby, there is no team. The reason I did this was part of a bigger project, writing Android games some of which I released. It gives a much nicer development experience.. i.e no emulators and no need for building and dexing. You simply update the source and press go :)
