E is an object oriented / procedural / unpure functional higher programming
|
|
language, mainly influenced by languages such as C++, Ada, Lisp etc. It is a
|
|
general-purpose programming language, and the Amiga implementation is
|
|
specifically targeted at programming system applications. The number of
|
|
features of the language is really too great to sum up entirely, and include:
|
|
speed of >20000 lines/minute on a 7 Mhz amiga, inline assembler and linker
|
|
integrated into compiler, large set of integrated functions, great module
|
|
concept with v40 includes as modules, flexible type-system, quoted
|
|
expressions, immediate and typed lists, parametric and inclusion polymorphism,
|
|
exception handling, inheritance, data-hiding, methods, multiple return values,
|
|
default arguments, register allocation, fast memory management, unification,
|
|
LISP-Cells, gui-toolkit, (macro-) preprocessor, very intuitive and powerful
|
|
source-level debugger, easy .library linking, and much more...
|
|
|
|
update to v3.2a.
|
|
|
|
This _distribution_ is Freeware. It contains only a limited compiler,
|
|
a registered compiler is available separately.
