Communicating Scala Objects

I wouldn't normally think a library is LtU material, but since this one lives at the intersection of embedded DSLs, process calculi, and a spotlight language, I think it fits: Communicating Scala Objects, Bernard Sufrin, Communicating Process Architectures 2008.

In this paper we introduce the core features of CSO (Communicating Scala Objects) – a notationally convenient embedding of the essence of occam in a modern, generically typed, object-oriented programming language that is compiled to Java Virtual Machine (JVM) code.

If you would like to play with it, the library can be downloaded here.

For a minute there I thought

For a minute there I thought it's 1983 and we are speaking about Ada...

Still not there

And CSP, Inferno, etc. but this still isn't part of a mainstream language..

Ada is much more used than Scala, but it's isn't very fashionable.

Ada is much more used than Scala, but it's isn't very fashionable.

As a wild guess, I imagine COBOL is also much more used than Scala. I might actually go further and guess that there are more new programs written in COBOL than Scala, but I wonder if there are more new programs written at sites that had never used COBOL before than new Scala sites.
