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).
