The JoCaml system


Description

JoCaml is Objective Caml plus (&) the join calculus, that is, OCaml extended for concurrent and distributed programming. The new JoCaml is a re-implementation of the now unmaintained JoCaml by Fabrice Le Fessant. With respect to this previous implementation, main changes are: * Numerous syntax changes, we believe the new syntax to be cleaner. * Disparition of mobility features, sacrified for the sake of OCaml compatibility. * Much better compatibility with Objective Caml. o Source compatibility is about 99%, there are three new keywords (def, reply and spawn) ; or and & should definitely not be used as boolean operators. o Binary compatibility for matching versions.
