Do you know Mozart? http://www.mozart-oz.org/ ? It is a Opens-Source multiparadigm language with functional programming (including terminal recursivity), logic (single-assignment) variables, dataflow concurrency (through suspending thread on undetermined variables), object-orientation, transparent distribution, and constraint programming (did I forget one ? :-) A recent very good introductory book uses it to travel among the world of the different programming paradigms: "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming" http://mitpress.mit.edu/0262220695
I found many things similar to Python stuff in there and I think both languages could benefit from each other. Best, -- Grégoire Dooms _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
