| Sather /Say-ther/ (Named after the Sather Tower at , as opposed to the Eiffel Tower). An interactive language designed by Steve M. Omohundro at in 1991. Sather has simple , similar to , but it is non-proprietary and faster. Sather 0.2 was nearly a subset of Eiffel 2.0, but Sather 1.0 adds many distinctive features: parameterised es, , statically-checked , . The compiler generates as an . There are versions for most s. Sather attempts to retain much of 's theoretical cleanliness and simplicity while achieving the efficiency of {C++}. The compiler generates efficient and portable C code which is easily integrated with existing code. A variety of development tools including a debugger and based on and a development environment have also been written. There is also a with several hundred classes that implement a variety of basic data structures and numerical, geometric, connectionist, statistical, and graphical abstractions. The authors would like to encourage contributions to the library and hope to build a large collection of efficient, well-written, well-tested classes in a variety of areas of computer science. Sather runs on , /300, 5000, , 3000, /, R3.2, , . See also , , . {(ftp://ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu/pub/sather)} E-mail: . Mailing list: sather-request@icsi.berkeley.edu. (1995-04-26) |
