BETA is a pure object-oriented language from the Scandinavian School in System Development where the first object-oriented language Simula was developed.

From a technical perspective, BETA provides the following unique feature:

  • Classes and Procedures are unified to one concept, a Pattern.
  • Classes are defined as properties/attributes of objects. This means that a class cannot be instantiated without an explicit object context.
  • A consequence of the above is that BETA supports nested classes; and BETA's nested classes are indeed one of the primary sources of inspiration for Java's inner classes.
  • Classes can be virtually defined (much like virtual methods can in most other object-oriented programming languages).
  • Virtual entities (such as methods and classes) are never overwritten; instead they are refined or specialized.
