gchpaco | Godiva

Godiva is a dialect of Java that provides general purpose abstractions that have been shown to be valuable in several very high level languages. These facilities include additional built-in data types, higher level operators, goal-directed expression evaluation, and pattern matching on strings. Godiva's extensions make Java more suitable for rapid prototyping and research programming. Adding these features to the core language increases the expressive power of Java in a way that cannot be achieved by class libraries.
A bunch of ideas from Icon and APL grafted onto Java. Here's the link to the language reference. There doesn't seem to be an implementation available. [Lambda the Ultimate]

Interesting. Java certainly has numerous issues. But without an implementation available...
