%X This paper details the design of a new concurrent
   process\-oriented programming language, Rain. The language
   borrows heavily from occam\-p and C++ to create a new
   language based on process\-oriented programming, marrying
   channel\-based communication, a clear division between
   statement and expression, and elements of functional
   programming. An expressive yet simple type system, coupled
   with templates, underpins the language. Modern features such
   as Unicode support and 64\-bit integers are included from
   the outset, and new ideas involving permissions and coding
   standards are also proposed. The language targets a new
   virtual machine, which is detailed in a companion paper
   along with benchmarks of its performance.
