Show HN: JPlus – The Java Superset Language

https://github.com/nieuwmijnleven/JPlus
1•nieuwmijnleven•1h ago
Are you a Java developer frustrated by verbose syntax and null pointer exceptions? Meet *JPlus*, a modern JVM language that extends Java with powerful features like strict null safety, type inference, and functional programming — all while maintaining full compatibility with your existing Java codebase!

---

## *Why JPlus?*

- Keep your Java ecosystem intact — use all your favorite libraries and frameworks without modification - Boost productivity with built-in null safety and concise syntax - Adopt gradually — write new code in JPlus without rewriting your entire project - Compile to standard Java bytecode and run anywhere the JVM runs

---

## *Make an Impact — Join Us!*

JPlus isn’t just a new language — it’s a *movement to modernize and evolve the Java ecosystem* for the next generation of developers. By participating in this project, you're not only improving your own development experience but also *shaping the future of Java itself*.

We’re calling on *developers, contributors, and supporters* who share this vision to get involved:

- *Actively contribute* to language design, compiler development, documentation, and tooling - *Join discussions* to share ideas, report issues, and give feedback - *Support the project* by spreading the word, sponsoring, or helping onboard new users

Whether you're a seasoned Java developer or just passionate about language design, *your participation matters*. With your support, JPlus can become a cornerstone of the JVM ecosystem — safer, more expressive, and future-ready.

---

*Explore the project:* [https://github.com/nieuwmijnleven/JPlus](https://github.com/nieuwmijnleven/JPlus) *Try it, contribute, and help redefine Java development!*

This is cool - I often wish java had some of the nice features of C# without having to go all the way into Kotlin.

In your post, you say:

>Compile to standard Java bytecode and run anywhere the JVM runs

But in github, the readme says that it transpiles to Java. Does this compile to bytecode, or transpile to java?
