Introducing The Heron Programming Language

Christopher Diggins writes "The Heron programming language, is a new general-purpose multi-paradigm programming language in the style of C++ which is starting to make waves. The popular Polish software development magazine Software 2.0 is featuring an article on Heron, in its first English version of the magazine slated to appear in February 2005. A preview of the Heron article is available."

I personally read it as the Herring Programming Language. I guess I have been hearing too much about Python and Parrot lately.

Yeah, bit Christopher Diggins is "best known for developing the Heron programming language." [cdiggins.com]

If Wiki deleted the article, and we were left with Chris pointing only to Heron and the language pointing only to him, the garbage collector would discard them both!
