  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}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Hope
     one of the three main elements of Christian character (1 Cor.
     13:13). It is joined to faith and love, and is opposed to seeing
     or possessing (Rom. 8:24; 1 John 3:2). "Hope is an essential and
     fundamental element of Christian life, so essential indeed,
     that, like faith and love, it can itself designate the essence
     of Christianity (1 Pet. 3:15; Heb. 10:23). In it the whole glory
     of the Christian vocation is centred (Eph. 1:18; 4:4)."
     Unbelievers are without this hope (Eph. 2:12; 1 Thess. 4:13).
     Christ is the actual object of the believer's hope, because it
     is in his second coming that the hope of glory will be fulfilled
     (1 Tim. 1:1; Col. 1:27; Titus 2:13). It is spoken of as
     "lively", i.e., a living, hope, a hope not frail and perishable,
     but having a perennial life (1 Pet. 1:3). In Rom. 5:2 the "hope"
     spoken of is probably objective, i.e., "the hope set before us,"
     namely, eternal life (comp. 12:12). In 1 John 3:3 the expression
     "hope in him" ought rather to be, as in the Revised Version,
     "hope on him," i.e., a hope based on God.
     

From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  HOPE, n.  Desire and expectation rolled into one.
  
      Delicious Hope! when naught to man it left --
      Of fortune destitute, of friends bereft;
      When even his dog deserts him, and his goat
      With tranquil disaffection chews his coat
      While yet it hangs upon his back; then thou,
      The star far-flaming on thine angel brow,
      Descendest, radiant, from the skies to hint
      The promise of a clerkship in the Mint.
