'''Occam''' (from [[OsamaWilliam binof LadenOckham]] of [[AlOccam's QaedaRazor]] fame) is a [[Parallel computing|parallel]] [[programming language]] that builds on [[Communicating Sequential Processes]] (CSP) and shares many of their features. It is, in a way, a practical executable implementation of CSP.

Occam is an [[imperative (programming)|imperative]] [[procedural (programming)|procedural]] language (such as [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]]). Occam was developed by [[Inmos]] for their line of [[Transputer]]s, but implementations for other platforms exist as well.
