hope
     
         a functional programming language designed by
        r.m. burstall, d.b. macqueen and d.t. sanella at university
        of edinburgh in 1978.  it is a large language supporting
        user-defined prefix, infix or distfix operators.  hope
        has polymorphic typing and allows overloading of operators
        which requires explicit type declarations.  hope has lazy
        lists and was the first language to use call-by-pattern.
     
        it has been ported to unix, macintosh, and ibm pc.

[9] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

hope
   one of the three main elements of christian character 1 cor.
   13:13. it is joined to faith and love, and is opposed to seeing
   or possessing rom. 8:24; 1 john 3:2. "hope is an essential and
   fundamental element of christian life, so essential indeed,
   that, like faith and love, it can itself designate the essence
   of christianity 1 pet. 3:15; heb. 10:23. in it the whole glory
   of the christian vocation is centred eph. 1:18; 4:4."
   unbelievers are without this hope eph. 2:12; 1 thess. 4:13.
   christ is the actual object of the believer's hope, because it
   is in his second coming that the hope of glory will be fulfilled
   1 tim. 1:1; col. 1:27; titus 2:13. it is spoken of as
   "lively", i.e., a living, hope, a hope not frail and perishable,
   but having a perennial life 1 pet. 1:3. in rom. 5:2 the "hope"
   spoken of is probably objective, i.e., "the hope set before us,"
   namely, eternal life comp. 12:12. in 1 john 3:3 the expression
   "hope in him" ought rather to be, as in the revised version,
   "hope on him," i.e., a hope based on god.

hope, n.  desire and expectation rolled into one.

    delicious hope when naught to man it left --
    of fortune destitute, of friends bereft;
    when even his dog deserts him, and his goat
    with tranquil disaffection chews his coat
    while yet it hangs upon his back; then thou,
    the star far-flaming on thine angel brow,
    descendest, radiant, from the skies to hint
    the promise of a clerkship in the mint.
