One of the things limiting the awareness of Oz is its unusual
syntax. We find that the syntax is ok for programming courses since
it is so different from other syntaxes that students are not biased.
But the syntax definitely hampers the widespread use of Oz. To fix
this problem, we now have a master's student working on a new
front-end for Mozart. It will implement a new language called Ozma
that is a conservative extension of Scala implemented on top of the
Mozart emulator. You should know that Scala is making a lot of waves
in the Java community since it's easy to learn for Java programmers
and more powerful. Ozma will add all the expressiveness of Oz to
Scala, like declarative dataflow concurrency, lazy dataflow
concurrency, and multiagent dataflow programming. Ozma will bring
the slogan "functional patterns are concurrency patterns" to Scala
programmers.
Very interesting. What's the timeline of this project?
Best,

The report + software is due in June.
