About:
Fantom is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language designed for building robust and portable applications across the Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript runtimes. It features a modern syntax, a unique actor model for concurrency, and a rich standard library. The language emphasizes developer productivity through static typing, type inference, and built-in support for functional programming patterns.

Key Features:

Cross-platform runtime (JVM and JavaScript)
Actor-based concurrency model
Static typing with powerful type inference
Rich standard library with built-in support for collections, I/O, and concurrency

Use Cases:

Building concurrent server-side applications
Developing cross-platform business logic
Scripting and automation tasks

Alternatives:

Kotlin – JVM language with more widespread adoption and tooling, but less focus on cross-compilation to JS.
Clojure – Functional-first JVM language with a focus on immutable data structures and Lisp syntax.
