Re: Use Mirah rather than Java for controller code: check out my new library!

What capabilities will your framework offer beyond those of WPIlibJ?

The resources I could find say that Mirah is still in development. Is it a stable enough language to use for FIRST? I'd rather not have to wait 2 weeks for a bug fix during the 6 week build season.

Have you checked that Mirah can be compiled to Java ME CLDC? I know a lot of other JVM-targed languages use reflection APIs behind the scenes that aren't included with the lightweight JVM that runs on the cRIO.
