Mops

Like {Yerk}, Mops is descended from the ex-commercial

{object-oriented} language {Neon}. It was developed by

Michael Hore . Mops features an

optimising {native}-code compiler; it is much faster than

Yerk, but less compatible with Neon. Mops includes extensions

such as {multiple inheritance}.

Version 2.3.1 includes a compiler, documentation and an

editor.

A {Macintosh} version is available.
