The {

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 ,

A language for compiler testing said to be used internally

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 ".
