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.
That's pretty close. Thanks.
