- general-purpose programming language, and the Amiga implementation is
- specifically targeted at programming system applications. The number of
- features of the language is really too great to sum up entirely, and include:
- speed of >20000 lines/minute on a 7 Mhz amiga, inline assembler and linker
- integrated into compiler, large set of integrated functions, great module
- concept with v40 includes as modules, flexible type-system, quoted
- expressions, immediate and typed lists, parametric and inclusion polymorphism,
- exception handling, inheritance, data-hiding, methods, multiple return values,
- default arguments, register allocation, fast memory management, unification,
- LISP-Cells, gui-toolkit, (macro-) preprocessor, very intuitive and powerful
- source-level debugger, easy .library linking, and much more...
-
- update to v3.2a.
-
- This _distribution_ is Freeware. It contains only a limited compiler,
- a registered compiler is available separately.
