Yeah, the FLINT project targets so-called "HOT" (Higher-order and
typed) languages. However, they've interpreted the acronym *very*
liberally (so liberally that I don't think it's very useful as a
term). To the FLINT people, HOT languages can be dynamically or
statically typed, and higher-order languages include those in which
objects carry methods. This encompasses hundreds of languages.
