Edwin Groothuis c2e628f92f [New ports] devel/mimir, lang/elan - Elan Programming Language
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.

Elan is an educational programming language for learning and teaching
systematic programming.
It was developed in 1974 by a group at the Technical University of
Berlin as an alternative to BASIC in teaching, and approved for use in
secondary schools in Germany by the "Arbeitskreis Schulsprache". It is
presently in use in a number of schools in Western Germany, Belgium, The
Netherlands and Hungary for informatics teaching in secondary education,
and used at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands for
teaching systematic programming to students from various disciplines and
in teacher courses.
