  Ellie
       
           An {object-oriented} language with fine-grained
          {parallelism} for {distributed computing}.  Ellie is based on
          {BETA}, {Smalltalk}, and others.  Parallelism is supported by
          {unbounded RPC} and "{future}" {objects}.  Synchronisation is


          by {dynamic interfaces}.  {Classes}, {methods}, {blocks}, and
          {objects} are all modelled by {first-class} "Ellie objects".
          It supports {genericity}, {polymorphism}, and
          {delegation}/{inheritance}.
