:Hi Roger, thanks for your comments. As for the relationship between occam 2.1 and 3, Conor O'Neill's "occam-2.5" definition document (SW-0429-8) [http://www.wotug.org/occam/documentation/oc21small.pdf] claims that some features were borrowed from occam 3, and as I understand it, the final occam 2.1 didn't differ much from that. [[User:Letdorf|Letdorf]] ([[User talk:Letdorf|talk]]) 18:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC).
Having talked to Geoff Barrett, he confirms that the features in 2.1/2.5 defined after occam 3 was defined. He also says the type system was around before he started on occam 3 and suggests I might have something to do with it. I don't remember doing anything on that and I think it must be David May's work.
Finally, I'll point out that the occam 3 definition was never formally published; if it had been it would probably have not had an author's name. The versions which have surfaced will have carried Geoff's name as he was certainly the "owner" of the document.--[[User:RogerShepherd|Roger]] ([[User talk:RogerShepherd|talk]]) 20:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
