   OOPL
  
      {object-oriented programming language}
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Opal
  
      1. A {DSP} language.
  
      ["OPAL: A High Level Language and Environment for DSP boards
      on PC", J.P. Schwartz et al, Proc ICASSP-89, 1989].
  
      2. The language of the {object-oriented database} {GemStone}.
  
      ["Making Smalltalk a Database System", G. Copeland et al, Proc
      SIGMOD'84, ACM 1984, pp.316- 325].
  
      3. A {simulation} language with provision for {stochastic
      variable}s.   An extension of {Autostat}.
  
      ["C-E-I-R OPAL", D. Pilling, Internal Report,
      C.E.I.R. Ltd. (1963)].
  
      4. A language for compiler testing said to be used internally
      by {DEC}.
  
      5. A {functional programming} language designed at the
      {Technische Universitaet Berlin} as a testbed for the
      development of {functional program}s.   OPAL integrates
      concepts from Algebraic Specification and Functional
      Programming, which favour the (formal) development of (large)
      production-quality software written in a {purely functional}
      style.
  
      The core of OPAL is a {strongly typed}, {higher-order},
      {strict} applicative language which belongs to the tradition
      of {Hope} and {ML}.   The algebraic flavour of OPAL is visible
      in the syntactical appearance and in the preference of
      {parameterisation} to {polymorphism}.
  
      OPAL supports: {information hiding} - each language unit is
      divided into an interface (signature) and an implementation
      part; selective import; {parameterised module}s; free
      constructor {views} on {sorts}, which allow pattern-based
      function definitions despite quite different implementations;
      full {overloading} of names; puristic scheme language with no
      {built-in} data types (except {Boolean}s and denotations).
  
      OPAL and its predecessor OPAL-0 have been used for some time
      at the Technische Universitaet Berlin in CS courses and for
      research into optimising compilers for applicative languages.
      The OPAL compiler itself is writte entirely in OPAL.
  
      An overview is given in "OPAL: Design And Implementation of an
      Algebraic Programming Language".

   Ophel
      hill; mound, the long, narrow, rounded promontory on the
      southern slope of the temple hill, between the Tyropoeon and the
      Kedron valley (2 Chr. 27:3; 33:14; Neh. 3:26, 27). It was
      surrounded by a separate wall, and was occupied by the Nethinim
      after the Captivity. This wall has been discovered by the
      engineers of the Palestine Exploration Fund at the south-eastern
      angle of the temple area. It is 4 feet below the present
      surface. In 2 Kings 5:24 this word is translated "tower" (R.V.,
      "hill"), denoting probably some eminence near Elisha's house.
