Just a small question for my own curiosity here.

Have you ever heard about the Oz programming language?

I'm asking the question because I am curious about its usage outside university classes and because I'm starting to appreciate learning and using it.

Nope.

Umm.. no.

What's it's purpose. If it's some kind of let's say embedded system language, 20 years out of support and only that one professor you happen to have knows it, chances are almost nobody uses or even knows it.

I’ve read about it, but it’s one of the myriad of languages out there that have no real world niche use case where some other language wouldn’t beat them 10-0 (especially considering the troubling execution slowness of Oz). It’s purpose was and is(?) education.

@notThere he doesn't only know it. He wrote it lol

@100110111 Yes it still is. One of the author told us the language was used at Intel or something during some time but I can't remember the details

@100110111 Yes it still is. The language is apparently still being used at virtutech (acquired by Intel) for their software named SimGen
