Zonnon

Designed by: Jürg Gutknecht

Programming paradigms: Imperative, structured, modular, object-oriented

Zonnon is a general purpose programming language in the line or family of the preceding languages Pascal, Modula, and Oberon.

Jürg Gutknecht is the author.Its conceptual model is based on objects, definitions, implementations, and modules.

Its computing model is concurrent, based on active objects which interact via syntax controlled dialogs.

The language is being developed at ETH Zürich Institute for Computer Systems by Professor Jürg Gutknecht.

Zonnon introduces the concept of ‘active objects’ which are used to represent real world concurrent objects within computer programs.

The Zonnon Language Report was written by Brian Kirk (director at Robinsons Associates), and David Lightfoot (Oxford Brookes University) working with Gutknecht (ETH, Zürich) and Dr. Eugene Zueff (Евгений Зуев) (Moscow State University).

The first book about Zonnon was published by the N.

Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod (a.k.a., Nizhni Novgorod State University).
