# Gamma™

### Version 4.0

Jan 07, 2003

Gamma is a dynamically-typed interpreted programming language that has been specifically designed to allow rapid development of control and user interface applications. Gamma has a syntax similar to C and C++, but has a range of built-in features that make it a far better language for developing sophisticated real-time systems.

| With version 4.0, Cogent software now includes source-code compatibility among the QNX 4, QNX 6 and Linux operating systems, a reorganized and expanded API, and other improvements. Version 4.0 of Cogent's tools will not interoperate with version 3 or older. This documentation has been edited and reorganized to reflect those changes. For documentation of Cogent software version 3.x, please contact Cogent Real-Time Systems, Inc.
