	Occam programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Occam is a parallel programming language that builds on Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and shares many of their features.
		Occam is an imperative procedural language (such as Pascal).
		Occam 2.1 is a second enhancement to occam, produced in 1988 by INMOS Ltd. It was the last of the series language developments contributed by INMOS.

	Misc
		Occam - is a programming language which facilitates writing parallel programs, allowing the programmer to specify whether processes are to be executed sequentially or in parallel.
		One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say that it aims to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant as and safer than Eiffel, and support higher-order functions and iteration abstraction as well as Common Lisp, CLU or Scheme.
		YAFL Programming Language - is a middle term research project which covers the design and the implementation of a new object-oriented language, as well as several attached programming tools.

	WoTUG - Occam Language
		Occam is a parallel processing language designed by a team at INMOS in conjunction with the design of the transputer processor, and based on T. Hoare's ideas of CSP.
		A detailed specification for occam 3 predates occam version 2.1, but the language has never beein implemented, and indeed it is unlikely to be implemented in that form, as experience has shown up better alternatives to some of the problems the language addressed.
		Some of the principles of occam have more recently been implemented in Java libraries, so that it is possible to program in the CSP and occam style while using the syntax and portability of Java.

	occam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The language enables the programmer to express a program in terms of concurrent processes which communicate by sending messages through communications channels.
		The Occam language may be used to program a network of computers.
		Occam does not require a global sense of time for correct program operation.

		The idea of axiomatizing a programming language is not of course a new one.
		Our plan this year is to follow (for the first term) a three-week cycle, where we introduce a new challenge for students to undertake, a week to explore that challenge, and then a talk from one of the faculty in the department on their research.
		Lastly, we hope that we are able to motivate all of their exposure to thinking concurrently (as embodied in the occam programming language) by grounding each new concept in some physical action to be executed by a LEGO robot.

	Computer Science: Publication: Dynamics and Pragmatics for High Performance Concurrency
		The CSP model of concurrency, as (largely) embodied in the occam programming language is used due to its simplicity, expressiveness, architecture- independent nature, and potential for high performance.
		After a brief introduction to the various components of the kroc occam system, additions and extensions to the occam programming language and supporting run-time system are examined.
		These provide a greater degree of programming flexibility in occam (for example, by adding support for dynamic allocation, mobile semantics and dynamic network construction), without compromising the safety of programs which use them.

	Langauges and Hardware... \| Lambda the Ultimate
		I would have thought a statically typed language (like ML) would know at compile time where in memory it was placing pointers vs. integers vs. characters, and wouldn't have to rely on run-time tags to determine types.
		In fact, for statically typed languages such as ML it is possible to garbage collect without any tags, by giving the garbage collector a "road map" of the compile-time types [*]; but this has its own complications and inconveniences.
		As to the languages, VHDL is what is typically used, and its based on Ada, but VHDL has a lot of rough edges, and what little of its better features there are sometimes run into problems because not all of VHDL is synthesizable(i.e.

	Shooting Yourself in the Foot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It was long ago that someone once said that using the C programming language, you can shoot yourself in the foot.
		However, the program fails to run and you can't correct it since you don't understand what the heck it is you've written.
		Your program tries to shoot you in the foot, but you die of old age before the bullet leaves the gun.
