Line 1:
'''Occam''' is a parallel [[programming language]] developed by [[Inmos]] for their line of [[Transputer]]s. Implementations for other platforms exist as well. (The language's name refers to [[William of Ockham]], responsible for [[Occam's Razor]].)
 
Occam builds on [[Communicating Sequential Processes]] (CSP) and shares many of the same features. It is, in a way, a practical implementation of CSP. Occam is a [[procedural programming|procedural]] language, similar to [[Pascal programming language|Pascal]] etc.
