authorlink = Tim Sheard] is a strict pure functional programming interpreter similar to the Hugs Haskell interpreter. The syntax closely resembles that of Haskell but with important differences:
* Ωmega is strict (Hugs is lazy);
* Support for Generalized Algebraic Datatypes;
* Ability to introduce new types;
* Allows writing of functions at the type level.For other crucial differences, please consult the [http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~sheard/Omega/OmegaManual.ps Ωmega user guide] .

Ωmega was developed by Prof. Tim Sheard of Portland State University's Computer Science Department as a language with an infinite hierarchy of computational levels (value, type, kind, sort, etc.). The underlying concept is that data, and functions manipulating data, can be introduced at any level.cite journal
