Abstract
NewSpeak is a language designed for use in safety-critical programs. It tries to limit the freedom of the programmer to the kind of ideas in programming that are reasonably easy to formalise, without making these restrictions unduly onerous. Its principal characteristic is that it has no exceptional values or states. Incorrect constructions which would lead to exceptional behaviour, such as range violations or numerical overflow, are all dealt with at compile time.Keywords
