# YETI programming language

**[Lobsters](https://daily.dev/sources/lobsters)** · 2 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Yeti is a ML-style functional programming language that runs on the JVM. It has features like type inference, polymorphic structure and variant types, property fields in structures, lazy lists, pattern matching, and easy integration with Java code. However, the author suggests that OCaml and Nim are better options for a modern language outside the JVM.
