# Ceylon

This is the 1.3.4-SNAPSHOT _"You'll Thank Me Later"_ release of the Ceylon 
command line tools. This is a production version of the platform.

Ceylon is a modern, modular, statically typed programming language 
for the Java and JavaScript virtual machines. The language features 
a flexible and very readable syntax, a unique and uncommonly elegant 
static type system, a powerful module architecture, and excellent 
tooling, including an awesome Eclipse-based IDE.

Ceylon enables the development of cross-platform modules which 
execute portably in both virtual machine environments. Alternatively, 
a Ceylon module may target one or the other platform, in which case 
it may interoperate with native code written for that platform.

## Systems where Ceylon is known to work

Since Ceylon is running on the JVM it should work on every platform 
that supports a Java 7 or 8 compatible JVM. However we have tested the 
following platforms to make sure it works:

### Linux

- Ubuntu "wily" 15.10 (64 bit) JDK 1.7.0_95 (IcedTea) Node 0.10.25
- Fedora 23 (64 bit), JDK 1.8.0_77 (OpenJDK)
- Fedora 22 (64 bit), JDK 1.8.0_72 (OpenJDK)
- Fedora 22 (64 bit), JDK 1.7.0_71 (Oracle)

### Windows

- Windows 10 Home (64 bit) 1.8.0_77
- Windows 7 (64 bit) 1.7.0_05 (Oracle)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 JDK 1.7.0_04

### OSX

- OSX 10 Lion (10.8.5) JDK 1.7.0_40 (Oracle) Node 0.10.17
