Ease(ID:3593/eas001)

Semitically validated Linda Occam hybrid 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1990

General purpose parallel programming language, combining the process constructs of CSP (via OCCAM) and the distributed data structures of Linda. Semiotically validated Linda implementation (Ericsson Zenith is a painter and poet as well as programmer)

Steven Ericsson Zenith, Yale, 1990, ENS Paris 1992

"The name? Well, Ease is a puzzle solution. The question and answer are mutually recursive.
Q. An Abstract System in ease.
A. Ease (Abstract (A) System (S) in ease (e)s = eASe)"

Possibly written as a Definitionist work (Definitionism is a general theory of signs (semiotics)) and possibly also drawing on experience writing Occam
