Language Visions?

• On the future LP Language: kernel CIAO some interesting ideas?
  • Backwards compatible with LP/CLP.
  • Can use existing implementation technology.
  • Incorporates some language solutions:
    • Separation of control rules (e.g., Andorra) from parallelism and optimizations.
    • Integration of several in the same framework.
    • Sequential operator.
    • Separation of parallelism and concurrency.
    • Explicit request for fairness.
    • Distribution primitives.
    • Active modules/objects.
    • ...
  • Final thoughts - minor things matter, e.g., in CIAO:
    • tcl/tk interface.
    • Stand-alone executables, linkables, and scripts.
    • Small executables.
    • html interface.
    • ...
