Google Noop
September 19, 2009
The goslings and I are working on a new project about Google development tools. We felt comfortable that we had the topic nailed. Then one of the ArnoldIT.com team read “Google Urges Developers to Get in Loop with Noop.” Kelly Fiveash wrote:
Mountain View said that Java Virtual Machine-based Noop, which is pronounced ‘noh-awp’, “attempts to blend the best lessons of languages old and new, while syntactically encouraging industry best-practice and discouraging the worst offences.”
She reported:
The goal is to build dependency injection and testability into the language from the beginning, rather than rely on third-party libraries as all other languages do,” said Google on the Noop code website.
Google continues to develop tools appropriate for its platform. With Java fraught with some exciting challenges, the Googlers grabbed the Java bag and ran it through the Google mill. Important step. The testing component puts a cost trimming safe guard in place that some of its competitors lack. Google is interested in other traffic efficiencies as well; for example, one way streets I think.
