<p>The BETA programming language is a modern in the SIMULA 67 tradition. It supports object-oriented perspective on and contains comprehensive facilities for procedural functional programming. replaces classes, procedures, functions types by single abstraction mechanism called <em>pattern</em>. Patterns may be organized classification hierarchy means of <em>sub-patterns</em>. The notion virtual procedure generalized to pattern. Virtual patterns combined with sub-patterns make it possible delay specification an attribute Attributes then have different bindings sub-patterns. also provides unified framework sequential, coroutine concurrent execution.</p><p>This paper tutorial introduction BETA.</p>
