description:	The goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it
		can be while meeting the needs of modern systems
		programmers.  Instead of exploring new features, we
		studied the features of the Modula family of languages
		that have proven themselves in practice and tried to
		simplify them into a harmonious language.  We found
		that most of the successful features were aimed at one
		of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler,
		more systematic type system.  Modula-3 retains one of
		Modula-2's most successful features, the provision for
		explicit interfaces between modules.  It adds objects
		and classes, exception handling, garbage collection,
		lightweight processes (or threads), and the isolation
		of unsafe features.

how to get:	ftp pub/ssl.tar.Z from neat.cs.toronto.edu
description:	A better characterization is that S/SL is a language 
		explicitly designed for making efficient recusive-descent 
		parsers.  Unlike most other languages, practicially the 
		LEAST expensive thing you can do in S/SL is recur.  A
		small language that defines input/output/error token
		names (& values), semantic operations (which are really
		escapes to a programming language but allow good
		abstration in the pseudo-code), and a pseudo-code
		program that defines a grammar by the token stream the
		program accepts.  Alternation, control flow, and
		1-symbol lookahead constructs are part of the
		language.  What I call an S/SL "implementation", is a
		program that compiles this S/SL pseudo-code into a
		table (think byte-codes) that is interpreted by the
		S/SL table-walker (interpreter).  I think the pseudo-code 
		language is LR(1), and that the semantic mechanisms turn it
		into LR(N) relatively easily.

description:	Sather is a new object-oriented computer language

		It has clean and simple syntax, parameterized classes,
		object-oriented dispatch, multiple inheritance, strong
		typing, and garbage collection. The compiler generates
		efficient and portable C code which is easily
		integrated with existing code.	
    package:	A variety of development tools including a debugger and browser
		based on gdb and a GNU Emacs development environment
		have also been developed. There is also a class library
		with several hundred classes that implement a variety
		of basic data structures and numerical, geometric,
		connectionist, statistical, and graphical abstractions.
		We would like to encourage contributions to the library
		and hope to build a large collection of efficient,
		well-written, well-tested classes in a variety of areas
		of computer science.

description:	We have designed and implemented a macro system that is
		vastly superior to the low-level system described in
		the Revised^4 Report; in fact, it essentially
		eliminates the low level altogether.  We also believe
		it to be superior to the other proposed low-level
		systems as well, but each of you can judge that for
		yourself.  We have accomplished this by "lowering the
		level" of the high-level system slightly, making
		pattern variables ordinary identifiers with essentially
		the same status as lexical variable names and macro
		keywords, and by making "syntax" recognize and handle
		references to pattern variables.

		The Self Group at Sun Microsystems Laboratories,
		Inc., and Stanford University is pleased to announce
		Release 2.0 of the experimental object-oriented
		exploratory programming language Self.
		Release 2.0 introduces full source-level debugging
		of optimized code, adaptive optimization to shorten
		compile pauses, lightweight threads within Self,
		support for dynamically linking foreign functions,
		changing programs within Self, and the ability to
		run the experimental Self graphical browser under
		OpenWindows.
		Designed for expressive power and malleability,
		Self combines a pure, prototype-based object model
		with uniform access to state and behavior. Unlike
		other languages, Self allows objects to inherit
		state and to change their patterns of inheritance
		dynamically. Self's customizing compiler can generate
		very efficient code compared to other dynamically-typed
		object-oriented languages.

		mechanism for process interaction.  SR provides a novel
		integration of the mechanisms for invoking and
		servicing operations.  Consequently, all of local and
		remote procedure call, rendezvous, message passing,
		dynamic process creation, multicast, and semaphores are
		supported.
