"Sather has parameterized classes, object-oriented dispatch, statically-checked
strong (contravariant) typing, separate implementation and type inheritance,
multiple inheritance, garbage collection, iteration abstraction, higher-order
routines and iters, exception handling, assertions, preconditions,
postconditions, and class invariants. Sather programs can be compiled into
portable C code and can efficiently link with C object files. ICSI maintains a
stable public class library and a growing body of contributed code including
classes for mathematics, data structures, GUI interfaces and compiling; the
Sather compiler, written entirely in Sather, is one such contribution. Sather
has a very unrestrictive license which allows its use in proprietary projects
but encourages contribution to the public library. A language-aware browser
allows new users to explore the library with integrated documentation."

My opinion only, worthless as usual.  Other than that, Sather sounds
interesting.

  It's not that bad, for a pascal style syntax. It doesn't reached the 
({(ugliness)}) of Objective-C does for the C syntax, or for that matter 
K&R C. (Ok, so I'm a syntax bigot)
