I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20070723.tgz
In the Seed7 programming language new statements and operators can be declared easily. Types are first class objects and therefore templates/generics need no special syntax. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious.
Seed7 is covered by the GPL (and LGPL for the Seed7 runtime library).
Changelog: - The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to allow local functions. - The compiler now supports arrays with indices of any type (not just integer indices). - A new example program (mandelbr.sd7), to display fractals, was added. - The -O2 option was added to the compiler (advantageous when compiling mandelbr.sd7). - The compiler now generates static functions to allow more optimizations. - A *:= operator and the sqrAbs function were added for the type 'complex'. - The reflection was changed to use the 'getValue' function instead of the 'value' operator. - The compiler was improved to support the conversion of integers to an enumeration type. - The compiler now compiles the programs panic.sd7 and castle.sd7.
