  Ellie
  
     <language> 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.
