Boon - Low Ceremony. High Productivity. A real boon to Java to developers!

The main goal of Boon is to reduce the productivity delta between Java and Python/Groovy/Ruby. The idea is to just create a lower ceremony APIs. Less Java like APIs, and more getting things done quickly APIs. If reading a file takes one line of code in Ruby/Python/Groovy, then it will also in Java. If slice notation is part of those language, then Boon will have it to.

Boon helps to make lists, maps, and sets feel like they are part of the core language instead of APIs. This includes mimicking map literals, list literals, and set literals. Boon will have its own collection libs. Boon has a collection query language already. It is good alternative to Guava.
