Three main features of the language are: (1) a large repertoire of additional control structures, (2) mechanisms for defining new data types similar to those of Pascal, and (3) unrestricted name lengths. Symbolic constants and in-line comments are also supported. A Westran-Fortran translator, described here, was written using bootstrap technique.
