Package: Sather
System name: sather
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Sather is an object oriented language 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++, or Fortran

- As elegant as and safer than Eiffel

- Support higher-order functions and iteration abstraction similar to Common 
Lisp,  Scheme, CLU, or Smalltalk.

Sather has garbage collection, statically-checked strong typing, multiple 
inheritance, separate implementation and type inheritance, parameterized 
classes, dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction, higher-order routines and 
iters, exception handling, assertions, preconditions, postconditions, and class 
invariants.  Sather code can be compiled into C code and can efficiently link 
with C object files. The upcoming version of Sather will have full 
internationalization support.
