==Implementations==
The first implementation of Hope was [[strict evaluation|strict]], but since that one there have been [[lazy evaluation|lazy]] versions and strict versions with lazy constructors. British Telecom embarked on a project with [[Imperial College London|Imperial College]] to implement a strict version. The first release was coded by Thanos Vassilakis in 1986. Further releases were coded by Mark Tasng of British Telecom. A successor language Hope+ added annotations to dictate either strict or lazy evaluation.
