  Sather
       
           /Say-ther/ (Named after the Sather Tower at UCB,
          as opposed to the Eiffel Tower).
       
          An interactive object-oriented language designed by Steve
          M. Omohundro at ICSI in 1991.  Sather has simple syntax,
          similar to Eiffel, but it is non-proprietary and faster.
       
          Sather 0.2 was nearly a subset of Eiffel 2.0, but Sather 1.0
          adds many distinctive features: parameterised classes,
          multiple inheritance, statically-checked strong typing,
          garbage collection.  The compiler generates C as an
          intermediate language.  There are versions for most
          workstations.
       
          Sather attempts to retain much of Eiffel's theoretical
          cleanliness and simplicity while achieving the efficiency of
          C++.  The compiler generates efficient and portable C code
          which is easily integrated with existing code.
       
          A variety of development tools including a debugger and
          browser based on gdb and a GNU Emacs development
          environment have also been written.  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.  The
          authors 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.
