The Mjølner System The Mjølner System is a modern software development environment for developing software in the object-oriented language BETA. BETA is an object-oriented language from the Scandinavian School of object-orientation with powerful abstraction mechanisms for identification of objects, classification and composition. It has strong typing, whole/part objects, reference attributes, general block structure, coroutines and concurrency. The BETA implementation has native code generation, garbage collection, separate compilation, configuration control, interface to C and assembly, The BETA object model includes also persistent objects, co-routine objects, concurrent objects, and distributes objects. The Mjølner System offers a large library of class patterns and application frameworks. The Mjølner System also offers a full range of software development tools, such as browser, structure-oriented editor, integrated CASE tool, user interface builder, and source-level debugger.
