Ian, Marcel, and all,
I heartily agree with Ian. ALL the "fads" have the
characteristic that they bloat almost instantly. Try,
for instance, for a complete definition of Java - how
many thousands of pages?
Only CSP/occam offers the capability of doing everything
(multitasking and multiprocessing) using definitions
that are finite and understandable. I still carry around
my old occam 2 reference manual, plus my Transputer
instruction set (which when used in reverse allows
extension to all processors). Taken together they are
less than 300 pages.
