How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12494817 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Vale programming language
Vale is a memory-safe, performance-focused systems programming language that explores region-based memory management and borrow-checking concepts similar to those in Rust.
-
D.
Eiffel programming language
Eiffel is an object-oriented programming language designed by Bertrand Meyer that emphasizes software correctness through features like Design by Contract and strong support for modular, reusable code.
-
E.
Beta (programming language)
Beta is an object-oriented programming language developed as a successor to Simula, notable for its unification of classes and procedures into a single abstraction called patterns.
- F. None of above. chosen
