GUIDE(ID:2838/gui001)

Guide language is an object-oriented language dedicated for programming distributed applications on top of the Comandos platform. This language faithfully reflects all the capabilities of the Comandos model. It combines the facilities of a strongly typed object model with a powerful computational model. Key features of the language are: separation between types and classes, conformant subtyping, distribution transparency, concurrent activities, synchronisation mechanism for shared objects, exception handling.
