| | The Sather Language: Efficient, Interactive, Object-Oriented Programming |
 | | 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 and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support interactive programming and higher-order functions as well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk. |
 | | The Sather compiler is itself a large program written in Sather which uses a lot of dispatching. |
 | | It is a fairly large program with about 30,000 lines of code in 183 classes (this compiles into about 70,000 lines of C code). |
