Oz is strongly typed but not statically typed.
Here are some constructives observations...
I really stumble upon on the oz language by sheer luck because I
digged specifically for something like this for at least a month.
From a SEO stand point, the name OZ was a bad idea... And the Mozart
name also... First of all it is not unique, second it already refers
to quite popular terms... Maybe changing the name would be a great
start ?
The name has existed for quite a long time already: the first version
of Oz appeared in the early 1990s ("DFKI Oz"), and the CTM book
appeared in 2004! (The language has gone from Oz 1 to Oz 2 to Oz 3,
and Oz 3 has gone through several versions up to version 1.4.0 now.)
I have recently given a short talk about Oz for graduate compsci
students at the Kansas State University, and here the name 'Oz' is more
than perfect ;)
