Amiga E

   e Amiga E is a programming language and compiler I started creating for
   the Amiga in `91, released publicly in `93, commercially in `94, and
   released as open source in `97. It was most similar to C++, in the
   sense that it was fast and weakly typed, and had a rich set of features
   from procedural, object oriented and functional programming languages.

   I wrote the entire thing in assembly language, which will always
   persist in my mind as the craziest software engineering exercise I have
   ever gone through (400kb of mostly uncommented assembly in a single
   source file, for a complex compiler).

   The original description I gave to it:

     E is an object-oriented/procedural/unpure functional/whatever
     language with quite a popular implementation on the amiga. It's
     mainly influenced by languages such as C++, Ada, Lisp etc., and
     features extremely fast compilation, inline assembler, large set of
     integrated functions, powerful module concept, flexible type-system,
     quoted expressions, immediate and typed lists, parametric and object
     polymorphism, exception handling, inheritance, data-hiding, methods,
     multiple return values, default arguments, register allocation, fast
     memory management, unification, LISP-Cells, macro-preprocessing, a
     very powerful source-level debugger, gui-toolkit, library linker,
     and then some.

   Amiga E was a tremendous success, it became one of the most popular
   programming languages on the amiga.

   The compiler is now open source (GPL). You can get all these files from
   here:

   AmigaE that runs on Amiga OS3, OS4, AROS & MorphOS, and Windows!

   Leif Salomonsson's [9]ECX project, a replacement E compiler written
   entire in... E! and his older [10]YAEC compiler.
