Some elements from occam 3 were introduced into the original compiler by other teams, and came to be known as 'occam 2.5' - as in "half-way there"!

==Occam 2.5==

'''Occam 2.5''' is the common name for the language compiled by the Kent Retargettable Occam compiler [[KRoC]]. It contains a significant number of extensions to the occam 2.1 compiler, for example:

* nested protocols

* run-time process creation

* mobile channels, data, and processes

* recursion;

* protocol inheritance;

* array constructors;

* extended rendezvous.

The KRoC team have made the compiler available on their website. In recent times, the team has decided to rename the compiler to [[Occam-Pi]], because of the use of theories from the [[Pi-calculus]].
