"BETA is a modern object-oriented language from the
Scandinavian school of object-orientation where the first
object-oriented language Simula was developed. BETA supports
the object-oriented perspective on programming and contains
comprehensive facilities for procedural and functional programming.
BETA has powerful abstraction mechanisms for supporting
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 compiletime.
It is well known that it is not possible to obtain all type
checking at compile time without sacrificing the expressiveness of
the language. BETA has an optimum balance between
compiletime type checking and runtime type checking." (Ole Lehrmann
Madsen)
