Elan is a programming language originally developed by the Technical University of Berlin, but nowadays an implementation is maintained by the Radboud University of Nijmegen. We at TCCN learn youngsters how to program in this language. We installed FreeBSD on one of our SPARC's some time ago, but Elan wasn't in the Ports tree yet. That's why I made two ports. One for lang/elan, the Elan compiler, and one for devel/mimir, a library the Elan compiler uses.
