Alef (programming language)
The Alef programming language was designed as part of the OS Plan 9 from Phil Winterbottom as an employee of the Research and Development Division Bell Labs.
At a presentation in February 2000 saw Rob Pike, " ... although Alef is a fruitful language, it has proved too difficult to maintain the development of a variant of the language over several architectures beyond. 's Why we have taken what we learned from it have created and the thread library for C. "
Example
This example was taken from the Alef Language Reference Manual. The extract illustrates the use of the data type tuple.
(int, byte *, byte) func ( ) { return ( 10, " hello ", ' c '); } void main () { int a; byte * str; byte c; (a, str, c) = func ( ); } see also
