Ecstasy is a new, general-purpose, programming language, designed for modern cloud architectures, and explicitly for the serverless cloud. Actually, to be completely honest, it's the most amazing programming language ever. No, really, it's that awesome.

The Ecstasy project includes a development kit (XDK) that is produced out of this repository, a programming language specification, a core set of runtime modules (libraries), a portable, type-safe, and verifiable Intermediate Representation (IR), a proof-of-concept runtime (with an adaptive LLVM-based optimizing compiler in development), and a tool-chain with both Java and Ecstasy implementations being actively developed.

The Ecstasy language supports first class modules, including versioning and conditionality; first class functions, including currying and partial application; type-safe object orientation, including support for auto-narrowing types, type-safe covariance, mixins, and duck-typed interfaces; complete type inference; first class immutable types; first class asynchronous services, including both automatic async/await-style and promises-based (@Future) programming models; and first class software containers, including resource injection and transitively-closed, immutable type systems. And much, much more.
