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. Sather runs on Sun-4, HP9000/300, Decstation 5000, MIPS, Sony News 3000, Sequent/Dynix, SCO SysVR3.2, NeXT, Linux. See also dpSather, pSather, Sather-K.

Specialty Definition: Sather

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Sather is an object-oriented programming language. It originated at the University of California, Berkeley, circa 1990. It supports garbage collection and generics by subtypes.

It is probably best to see it as an Object-oriented language, with many ideas borrowed from Eiffel. Even the name is inspired by Eiffel; the Sather Tower is a recognizable landmark at Berkeley. Sather also takes inspiration from other programming languages and paradigms. There are some features normally only found in functional programming languages.

The original Berkeley implementation is now maintained by many people, not all at Berkeley, and has been adopted by the Free Software Foundation. There are at least two other implementations: Sather-K from the University of Karlsruhe, and Sather-W from the University of Waikato.

Sather is implemented as a compiler to C. With optimizations in the C compiler, Sather can perform better than the corresponding C++ code, and the generated C code can always be optimized by hand.

Sather can be used under either the GNU GPL or LGPL.

A Hello, world program in Sather is:

class HELLO_WORLD is
 main is 
  #OUT+"Hello World\
"; end; end;
