Jump to user comments
language A functional programming language designed by
R.M. Burstall, D.B. MacQueen and D.T. Sanella at Universityof Edinburgh in 1978. It is a large language supporting
user-defined prefix, infix or distfix operators. Hope
has polymorphic typing and allows overloading of operators
which requires explicit type declarations. Hope has lazylists and was the first language to use call-by-pattern.
It has been ported to Unix, Macintosh, and IBM PC.
