Ringo is a JavaScript platform built on the JVM and optimized for server-side applications. It's based on the Mozilla Rhino JavaScript engine.
It adds a number of features to Rhino that make it suitable for real-world, large-scale application development:
- A fast, auto-reloading, and CommonJS-compliant module loader.
- A rich set of modules covering I/O, logging, development tools and much more.
- Support for blocking and non-blocking I/O.
- Scalable HTTP server based on the Jetty project.
- Support for CommonJS packages to install or write additional software components.
