Opal (programming language)

OPAL (OPtimized Applicative Language)[1] is a functional programming language first developed at Technische Universität Berlin.


There is a later framework for static code analysis also called Opal.[2]

Example program

[edit]

This is an example OPAL program, which calculates the GCD recursively.

Signature file (declaration)
   SIGNATURE GCD    FUN GCD: nat ** nat -> nat 
Implementation file (definition)
   IMPLEMENTATION GCD    IMPORT Nat COMPLETELY    DEF GCD(a,b) == IF a % b = 0 THEN b                        ELSE IF a-b < b THEN GCD(b,a-b)                            ELSE GCD(a-b,b)                        FI                    FI
