Line 95:
:::I was interested in occam 3 because I have to do a senior project for my major and I just finished reading "Programming in occam 2" by Jones and Goldsmith and I thought it would be interesting to write a compiler for occam, specifically occam 3 since it was never fully implemented in a compiler. occam 3 is of interest in computer science because it tried a few unique approaches in some areas that while syntactically clear are not easy to implement. For this reason occam 3 is, and has been, used to describe distributed algorithms and due to this I think it should be discussed. I think the argument that it should not be discussed because it was never implemented is flawed because it was still used regardless as well as the precedent shown by having an article on Plankalkül, also an "unimplemented" language. Plus, there are probably more lines of occam 3 code out there than, say, [[Plankalkül]], [[Dataparallel-C]], [[Cecil]], [[Cesil]], [[Arbol]], or any number of other lesser-known programming languages out there and we're discussing having a paragraph discuss a major dialect of a well-known programming language. - [[User:DNewhall|DNewhall]] 06:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
