Hope
     
         A {functional programming} language designed by
        R.M. Burstall, D.B. MacQueen and D.T. Sanella at {University
        of Edinburgh} in 1978.  It is a large language supporting
        user-defined {prefix}, {infix} or {distfix} operators.  Hope
        has {polymorphic} typing and allows {overloading} of operators
        which requires explicit type declarations.  Hope has {lazy
        lists} and was the first language to use {call-by-pattern}.
     
        It has been ported to {Unix}, {Macintosh}, and {IBM PC}.
