"BETA is a modern object-oriented language with comprehensive facilities for procedural and functional programming. BETA has powerful abstraction mechanisms than provide excellent support for design and implementation, including data definition for persistent data. The abstraction mechanisms include support for identification of objects, classification, and composition. BETA is a strongly typed language (like Simula, Eiffel, and C++), with most type checking being carried out at compile-time. The abstraction mechanisms include class, procedure, function, coroutine, process, exception, and many more, all unified into the ultimate abstraction mechanism: the pattern. In addition to the pattern, BETA has subpattern, virtual pattern, and pattern variable. BETA does not only allow for passive objects as in Smalltalk, C++, and Eiffel. BETA objects may also act as coroutines, making it possible to model alternating sequential processes and quasi-parallel processes. BETA coroutines may also be executed concurrently with supported facilities for synchronization and communication, including monitors and rendezvous communication."
