Bertrand Meyer ca. 1986. An object-oriented language.

Classes with multiple and repeated inheritance, deferred classes (like Smalltalk's abstract class), and clusters of classes. Objects can have both static and dynamic types. The dynamic type must be a descendant of the static (declared) type. Dynamic binding resolves clashes from the multiple inheritance. Flattened forms of classes, in which all of the inherited features are added at the same level. Generic classes parametrized by type. Persistent objects, garbage collection, exception handling, interface to routines written in other languages. Implemented as a C preprocessor.

a sophisticated language striving for OO purity.  It is an advanced OOL that emphasizes the design and construction of high-quality and reusable software. Classes with multiple and repeated inheritance, deferred classes, and clusters of classes. Objects can have both static and dynamic types. The dynamic type must be a descendant of the static (declared) type. Dynamic binding resolves clashes from the multiple inheritance. Best for assertions. Has built in support for Design by Contract
