Bug#862011: O: mozart -- Mozart Programming System
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Mozart is an advanced development platform for intelligent,
distributed applications. It 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. Security is upcoming. Mozart is an ideal platform for both
general-purpose distributed applications as well as for hard problems
requiring sophisticated optimization and inferencing abilities.
Mozart 1.4 is dead upstream. I do not recommend that it is adopted and
re-introduced to Debian. It is limited to 32 bit architectures. It has
a very efficient byte code interpreter and networking systems which
rely on unsafe casting which is no longer accepted by our c++
compiler. Any adopter should be familiar with programming language
implementations and proficient with low level C++ semantics.
The language was used in the book Concepts, Techniques, and Models of
Computer Programming by Peter Van Roy and Seif Haridi
(https://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.html). I believe Mozart 1.4 is
mostly used for teaching language concepts now.
I will package Mozart2 (http://mozart.github.io/): This lacks
constraint and distribution support but is rewritten from scratch and
supports 64 bit architectures. If anyone is interested in this effort
please contact me.
