Pizza 1.1 announcement

Pizza 1.1 now available




We'd like to announce availability of Pizza 1.1, a strict superset of
Java 1.1, including support for inner classes. Pizza 1.1 also
incorporates four additional concepts, three of which are inherited
from the original Pizza language:


  - parametric polymorphism,
  - higher-order functions,
  - algebraic types, and
  - tail-recursion in constant space.


Pizza 1.1 is implemented on top of the JDK 1.1 development kit. The
Pizza compiler is a straight replacement for Sun's Java compiler,
javac. When compiling .java files, the Pizza compiler works just like
javac, except that it is up to 2 times faster for large programs.


An implementation of Pizza with a kernel library and some example
programs is available from

It will also soon (week following June 1st) be available from our
mirror sites:
