Extractions: Dr. Dobbs Journal Sather is an object oriented language which aims to be simple, efficient, interactive, safe, and non-proprietary. One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say that it aims to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support interactive programming and higher-order functions as well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk. Sather has parameterized classes, object-oriented dispatch, statically-checked strong typing, separate implementation and type inheritance, multiple inheritance, garbage collection, iteration abstraction, higher-order routines and iters, exception handling, constructors for arbitrary data structures, and assertions, preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants. This article describes the first few of these features. The development environment integrates an interpreter, a debugger, and a compiler. Sather programs can be compiled into portable C code and can efficiently link with C object files. Sather has a very unrestrictive license which allows its use in proprietary projects but encourages contribution to the public library. The original 0.2 version of the Sather compiler and tools was made available in June 1991. This article describes version 1.0. By the time the article appears, the combined 1.0 compiler/interpreter/debugger should be available on "ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu" and the newsgroup "comp.lang.sather" should be activated for discussion.

Sather is a programming language . It originated at the University of California, Berkeley , circa 1990. It is probably best to see it as an Object-oriented language, with many ideas borrowed from Eiffel . In fact even the name is inspired by Eiffel. There is a building called the Sather tower at Berkeley. Sather also takes inspiration from other programming languages and paradigms. There are some features normally only found in functional programming languages. The original Berkeley implementation is now worked on by many people, not all at Berkeley, and has been adopted by the Free Software Foundation . There are at least two other implementations: Sather-K from the University of Karlsruhe , and Sather-W from the University of Waikato

We thoroughly describe the implementation of a basic chess program. By carefully reading this document and the discussed example program, you will learn enough about Sather 1.0 to start programming in Sather 1.0 yourself. This document is intended for programmers familiar with object oriented languages such as Eiffel or C++.... (Update)

It sports parameterized classes, object-oriented display, statically checked strong typing, multiple inheritance, garbage collection, and more. by Sam Harbison Feature-for-feature, Modula-3 is on a par with Ada and C++, but avoids complexity by simplifying individual features like inheritance and generics. Furthermore, Modula-3 is less of a moving target because it already has features only now being added to those other languages.

Extractions: The development of high-quality software is a difficult, multifaceted problem. Our research in software systems aims to advance state-of-the-art software development. The areas we are studying include languages used to specify computations, interactive environments for the development, description, maintenance, and understanding of software, methods for translation of higher-level languages to target machine code, runtime systems to provide efficient, yet robust execution, tools for visualizing execution, and techniques to teach and support problem-solving in programming. Beyond the traditional attention to sequential computing, our research increasingly addresses massively parallel computing. Our research on efficient program execution is multifaceted. Three diverse projects are using quite different approaches to reduce the amount of extra execution overhead required for runtime data integrity. In the first project, some runtime storage management for ML programs is being replaced by efficient compile-time management, using new methods of program analysis. In the second project, constraint solving techniques are being explored as a basis for a general class of program analysis algorithms that can all share a common constraint-resolution implementation. In the third project, software fault isolation has been developed to replace the runtime overhead of separate address spacesQwhich are used to prevent executing processes from corrupting each other's dataQby more efficient software protection.

Extractions: Abstract: Safety as understood in the conference theme can be separated into the more technical terms of safety, progress, and security: nothing bad happens, the right things do happen, and things happen under proper authorization. All three interact to make a system "safe" in the broader sense. This article introduces to the degree of safety in the technical sense that can be directly supported by programming languages and their type systems in particular. From a generalized definition of type a brief... (Update)
