  Opal
       
          1. A DSP language.
       
          ["OPAL: A High Level Language and Environment for DSP boards
          on PC", J.P. Schwartz et al, Proc ICASSP-89, 1989].
       
          2. The language of the object-oriented database GemStone.
       
          ["Making Smalltalk a Database System", G. Copeland et al, Proc
          SIGMOD'84, ACM 1984, pp.316- 325].
       
          3. A simulation language with provision for stochastic
          variables.  An extension of Autostat.
       
          ["C-E-I-R OPAL", D. Pilling, Internal Report,
          C.E.I.R. Ltd. (1963)].
       
          4. A language for compiler testing said to be used internally
          by DEC.
       
          5. A functional programming language designed at the
          Technische Universitaet Berlin as a testbed for the
          development of functional programs.  OPAL integrates
          concepts from Algebraic Specification and Functional
          Programming, which favour the (formal) development of (large)
          production-quality software written in a purely functional
          style.
       
          The core of OPAL is a strongly typed, higher-order,
          strict applicative language which belongs to the tradition
          of Hope and ML.  The algebraic flavour of OPAL is visible
          in the syntactical appearance and in the preference of
          parameterisation to polymorphism.
       
          OPAL supports: information hiding - each language unit is
          divided into an interface (signature) and an implementation
          part; selective import; parameterised modules; free
          constructor views on sorts, which allow pattern-based
          function definitions despite quite different implementations;
          full overloading of names; puristic scheme language with no
          built-in data types (except Booleans and denotations).
       
          OPAL and its predecessor OPAL-0 have been used for some time
          at the Technische Universitaet Berlin in CS courses and for
          research into optimising compilers for applicative languages.
          The OPAL compiler itself is writte entirely in OPAL.
       
          An overview is given in "OPAL: Design And Implementation of an
          Algebraic Programming Language".

  Opal \O"pal\, n. [L. opalus: cf. Gr. ?, Skr. upala a rock,
     stone, precious stone: cf. F. opale.] (Min.)
     A mineral consisting, like quartz, of silica, but inferior to
     quartz in hardness and specific gravity.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The precious opal presents a peculiar play of colors
           of delicate tints, and is highly esteemed as a gem. One
           kind, with a varied play of color in a reddish ground,
           is called the harlequin opal. The fire opal has
           colors like the red and yellow of flame. Common opal
           has a milky appearance. Menilite is a brown impure
           variety, occurring in concretions at Menilmontant, near
           Paris. Other varieties are cacholong, girasol,
           hyalite, and geyserite.
