MODCAP(ID:2761/mod005)

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1978
Published: 1978

A language evolved from MADCAP, also by Wells and by Rollo Silver.

a simple, moderately extensible, lexically-scoped expression language with functions as first-class objects, retention, unenforced abstract data types, pointer semantics and rendezvous-based concurrency

Functions can return multiple values

Language based on functions, with assignment and sequencing
providing the imperative features, encapsulation and genericity providing the
object-oriented features, and the possibility of parallel evaluation catering for
the logic non-determinism.
