Has Oz Come Up in This Forum?

[Paul Snively]

Folks,

Has anyone here looked at Oz? <http://www.mozart-oz.org>

>From their introduction:

"In a distributed environment Oz provides language security. That is, all 
language entities are created and passed explicitly. An application cannot 
forge references nor access references that have not been explicitly given 
to it. The underlying representation of the language entities is 
inaccessible to the programmer. This is a consequence of having an abstract 
store and lexical scoping. Along with first-class procedures, these 
concepts are essential to implement a capability-based security policy, 
which is important in open distributed computing."

This sure sounds like Trusty Scheme or E to me.

Anyone know more about the Mozart environment and/or the Oz language?
