The Classic Environment? 1.01 is a useful tool which informs you when Classic is launched.

Mozart has an interactive incremental development environment and a production-quality implementation for Unix and Windows platforms. Mozart is the fruit of an ongoing research collaboration by the Mozart Consortium.

Mozart is based on the Oz language, which supports declarative programming, object-oriented programming, constraint programming, and concurrency as part of a coherent whole.
For distribution, Mozart provides a true network transparent implementation with support for network awareness, openness, and fault tolerance. Mozart supports multi-core programming with its network transparent distribution and is an ideal platform for both general-purpose distributed applications as well as for hard problems requiring sophisticated optimization and inferencing abilities.

Mozart was used to developed many applications including multi-agent systems, digital assistants and sophisticated collaborative tools, as well as applications in natural language understanding and knowledge representation, in scheduling and time-tabling,

Major Features:

1. Programming:
   • Oz is a concurrent object-oriented language. In a first approach, Oz can be programmed in a very similar way to other such languages, like Java. With experience gained, programs tend to become simpler, for example, as they use the powerful concepts of dataflow execution and first-class procedures.
   • Oz is an eminently concurrent language. The Mozart system implements ultralightweight threads with preemptive fair scheduling. It easily supports applications with many thousands of threads. Dataflow synchronization is achieved transparently through logic variables.
   • Multi-Paradigm Programming: Unlike most other programming languages which lock you into a single programming paradigm, Oz unifies into one simple and coherent framework the functional, object-oriented, and logic flavors of programming. This is possible due to the very general and powerful underlying paradigm of concurrent constraint programming.
2. Inferencing:
   • Oz is a powerful constraint language with logic variables, finite domains, finite sets, rational trees and record constraints. The system is competitive in performance with state-of-the-art commercial solutions, but is much more expressive and flexible, providing first-class computation spaces, programmable search strategies, a GUI for the interactive exploration of search trees, parallel search engines exploiting computer networks, and a programming interface to implement new and efficient constraint systems.
   • Logic Programming: Oz goes beyond Horn-clauses to provide a unique and flexible approach to logic programming. Oz distinguishes between directed and undirected styles of declarative logic programming. For both, Oz lets you specify a programs logical semantics separately from its resolution strategy. Powerful tools and libraries are provided built on the concepts of first-class computation spaces and determinacy-driven disjunctions. Together with distribution, this makes Mozart an ideal platform for both intelligent multi-agent systems and parallel search.
3. Distribution:
   • Open Distributed Computing: The Mozart system is an ideal platform for open distributed computing: it makes the network completely transparent. The illusion of a common store is extended across multiple sites and automatically supported by very efficient protocols. In addition, full control is retained over network communication patterns, permitting very efficient use of network resources. Furthermore, reliable, fault tolerant applications can easily be developed.
   • Distributed Component-Based Programming: Mozart provides first-class software component specifications (called functors) and software components (called modules). The module system facilitates application development and deployment. Both component specifications and components can be transparently referenced through URLs, absolute and relative, and loaded by need. Flexible security policies are implemented by module managers.
   • Mobile Agents: With its dynamic component technology, open computing support, and full-featured implementation, Mozart is an ideal platform for serious programming with mobile agents. A computation can create new computations dynamically. Computations can roam the shared Mozart space at will. Each site has full control over what resources it makes available to incoming computations.
   • Separation of Concerns (Aspects): The Mozart system separates the concerns of application functionality, distribution structure, fault tolerance, and openness (application connectivity). The separation is almost perfect for the first two concerns and quite good for the last two. In the context of aspect-oriented programming, this can be seen as a ``vertical approach, where a few aspects are treated in depth, versus the ``horizontal approach of tools like AspectJ, which provide primitives for handling many aspects.
4. Platform Issues:
   • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Like Java, Oz is `write once, run everywhere and provides automatic local and distributed garbage collection. The Oz virtual machine is portable and known to run on most flavors of Unix as well as on Windows.
   • GUI Programming: The Mozart system comes with an object-oriented library that provides a high-level well integrated interface to Tcl/Tk. This is supplemented with QTk, a tool that supports a mixed declarative/procedural approach to user interface design. This needs only a fraction of the code of standard procedural approaches and is particularly well-suited for building context-sensitive interfaces.
   • Native Extension Modules: The Mozart system was designed to be easily extended with new native functionality packaged as DLLs. Comprehensive support is provided for the convenient creation of DLLs. Thus, the Mozart system is not only aggressively open, but also an ideal very high-level glue language.

Ch Standard Edition 6.1 is considered as an embeddable C/C++ interpreter designed for cross-platform scripting, shell programming, 2D/3D plotting, numerical computing, and embedded scripting.

It is the most complete C interpreter in existence for scripting, plotting and numerical computing. It supports 1990 ISO C Standard (C90), major features in C99, classes in C++, POSIX, X11/Motif, OpenGL, ODBC, XML, GTK+, Win32, CGI, 2D/3D graphical plotting, socket/Winsock, C LAPACK, high level numeric functions, and shell programming.

Major Features:

1. A complete C interpreter supporting all features in the ISO C90 Standard.
2. Easy interface with C/C++ binary libraries using Ch SDK
3. Wide characters in Addendum 1 for C90.
4. Ch supports more new features added in the latest ISO C99 Standard than most existing C compilers. Ch is the first implementation of complex numbers, variable length arrays (VLAs), IEEE-754 floating-point arithmetic, generic mathematical functions in C99.
5. Many salient C++ features including classes, objects and encapsulation for object-based programming (Brain-damaging features are excluded).
6. Complex IEEE floating-point arithmetic with complex metanumbers ComplexInf and ComplexNaN.
7. Assumed-shape arrays for passing multi-dimensional arrays of different sizes to the same argument of a function.
8. Nested functions and nested classes for modular programming.
9. Interactive execution of C statements, perfect solution for classroom demos using a laptop.
10. Interactive portable shell across different platforms.
11. A very-high level language (VHLL) environment for shell programming to automate tasks and system administration.
12. Safe Ch with built-in secure sandbox and Ch applet for world-wide distributed network computing. As a very high-level language at the source level, a Ch applet can be very small, but with very powerful capabilities. It is especially suitable for bandwidth sensitive devices such as handheld computers and cellular phones.
13. Built-in string type with automatic memory management and advanced text processing capabilities for shell programming and script computing.
14. Adjustable array bounds, i.e., int a[1:10].
15. Auto array bound checking.
