Concurrent OO language based on linear logic

According to Proj Yonizawa's retrosepctive, it was inspired by several triggers:

"Formal Semantics of COOL
Trinity of language research:
     - design, semantics and  high performance implementation
     - design done, high performance implementation done
No good previous semantics:
     - denotational semantics criticized by D. Scott
     - Agha transitional semantics not satisfied
     - Overwhelmed by ?Imperialism? of pi-calculus
     - fond of and familiar with Gentzen style sequent calculus
     - encountered with Girard Linear Logic
     - reviewed a French paper on Linear concurrent logic programming
     - suggested N. Kobayashi to use a fragment of Linear Logic for a new calculus"
