ITP: sather
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Description: Compiler and programming environment for Sather.
Sather is an object oriented language which is designed to be simple,
efficient, safe, and non-proprietary. It aims to meet the needs of
modern research groups and to foster the development of a large,
freely available, high-quality library of efficient well-written
classes for a wide variety of computational tasks. It was originally
based on Eiffel but now incorporates ideas and approaches from several
languages. One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say
that it attempts to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant
and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support higher-order functions as
well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk.

There's been a previous ITP, but I'm issuing this ITP since I've been
able to resolve some minor problems with the build. Current packages
are lintian-clean. This ITP is followed by other packages from GNU
Sather.
Since I'm not a Debian Developer, I need a sponsor for these prospective
packages.
Thanks,
