Yesterday I posted the slides of my 41 minute long lecture about mobl. I also recorded video of it (through my MacBook’s webcam) and the result is acceptable enough to publish. So, if you have some time to spare, here’s me presenting mobl to a group of our students, a demo is included:
Mobl Lecture from Zef Hemel on Vimeo.
In a nutshell, mobl is a new language to develop mobile applications using web technologies. It’s a statically typed language that compiles down to Javascript and HTML.
Some interesting features:
- Automatically transforms synchronous code to asynchronous code using continuation-passing style transformation.
- Reactive programming support
- Built as an Eclipse plug-in
- Compile on save. Simply make changes to your application, save the file and reload it in the mobile browser.
- Syntax similar to WebDSL and Javascript.

There is no release yet, if you feel very adventurous, you can install Spoofax and then clone the mobl git repo to try it out.
