It aims to meet the needs of -modern research groups and to foster the development of a large, -freely available, high-quality library of efficient well-written -classes for a wide variety of computational tasks. It was originally -based on Eiffel but now incorporates ideas and approaches from several -languages. One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say -that it attempts to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant -and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support higher-order functions as -well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk. - -Sather has garbage collection, statically-checked strong typing, -multiple inheritance, separate implementation and type inheritance, -parameterized classes, dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction, -higher-order routines and iters, exception handling, assertions, -preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants. Sather code can -be compiled into C code and can efficiently link with C object files. - -Note: this version will work with non-threaded Tk only due to problems -with GC and threads! - -WWW: http://www.gnu.org/software/sather/ |
