Interactive object-oriented language with simple syntax, similar to Eiffel, but non- proprietary and faster. Sather 0.2 was nearly a subset of Eiffel 2.0, but Sather 1.0 adds many distinctive features. Parameterized classes, multiple inheritance, statically-checked strong typing, garbage collection. Generates C as an intermediate language.
OOL designed to be simple, efficient, safe, flexible, 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++, FORTRAN, as elegant as and safer than EIFFEL, and support higher-order functions and iterations abstraction as well as COMMON LISP, CLU, and SCHEME. 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. SATHER has garbage collection, statically-checked strong typing, multiple inheritance, separate implementation and type inheritance, parameterized classes, dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction, higher-order routines, exception handling, assertions, preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants. SATHER code can be compiled into C code and can efficiently link with C object files.
SATHER does have relatively long compile times.
