mobl 0.4.5

mobl is a new free and open source language designed specially to speed up building mobile applications. Using modern HTML5 technologies, mobl offers you

• a concise language to build native-feeling web apps in a jiff;


• great (Eclipse) IDE support (such as as-you-type error reporting, code completion and reference resolving);


• a rapid save and test cycle. No more lengthy compilations, the mobl IDE compiles your modules whenever you save, ready to be tested in the mobile browser.

Mobl Language Features:

• Statically typed language, enabling great IDE support and as-you-type error detection, while reducing the amount of typing other statically typed languages require, through type inference.


• Scripting language syntax similar to Javascript.


• Declarative domain-specific language (DSL) for defining user interfaces.


• Declarative concise DSL for defining data models. Data is stored on the device. No server back-end required.


• Easy access to existing “native” Javascript libraries and widgets.


• Compiler generates static Javascript and HTML files, ready to be deployed to any web host and to be cached on the device, to enable offline web applications.
