==Features==

===Technical overview===

From a technical perspective, BETA provides several unique features. Classes and Procedures are unified to one concept, a [[BETA pattern|Pattern]]. Also, classes are defined as properties/attributes of objects. This means that a class cannot be instantiated without an explicit object context. A consequence of this is that BETA supports [[nested class]]es. Classes can be virtually defined, much like virtual methods can be in most object-oriented programming languages. Virtual entities (such as methods and classes) are never overwritten; instead they are redefined or specialized.

Line 36 ⟶ 33:

===Patterns===

A major and peculiar feature of the language is the concept of patterns. In another programming language, such as [[C++]], one would have several classes and procedures. BETA expresses both of these concepts using patterns.
