{{Short description|Family of programming languages}}

'''Actor-Based Concurrent Language''' ('''ABCL''') is a family of [[programming language]]s, developed in [[Japan]] in the 1980s and 1990s.

Line 4 ⟶ 5:

''ABCL/1'' (Actor-Based Concurrent Language) is a [[prototype-based programming|prototype-based]] [[concurrent programming language]] for the '''ABCL MIMD''' system, created in 1986 by [[Akinori Yonezawa]], of the ''Department of Information Science'' at the [[University of Tokyo]].

ABCL/1 uses [[asynchronous]] [[message passing]] among [[object (programming)|objects]] to achieve concurrency. It requires [[Common Lisp]]. Implementations in [[Kyoto Common Lisp]] (KCL) and [[Symbolics]] Lisp are available from the author.

===ABCL/c+===

An implementation of ABCL/c+ is available from the ACM.<ref>[https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/646148.679055 An Implementation of an Operating System Kernel Using Concurrent Object-Oriented Language ABCL/c+]</ref>

===ABCL/R===

''ABCL/R'' is an [[Object-oriented programming|object-oriented]] [[reflection (computer science)|reflective]] subset of ABCL/1, written by Professor Akinori Yonezawa of [[Tokyo Institute of Technology]] in 1988.

====ABCL/R2====

''ABCL/R2'' is a second generation version of ABCL/R, designed for the Hybrid Group Architecture. It was produced at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1992, and has almost all the functionality of ABCL/1. It is written in [[Common Lisp]]. As a reflective language, its programs can dynamically control their behavior, including scheduling policy, from within a user-process context.

===ABCL/c+=Further reading==

''ABCL/c+'' is an object-oriented concurrent language, a variant of ABCL/1 based on [[C (programming language)|C]] instead of [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]].

This language is often reffered as C+, but must not be mistaken for C or C++.
