occam is a programming language which is concurrent and builds on the communicating sequential processes (CSP) process algebra,[1] and shares many of its features. It is named after philosopher William of Ockham after whom Occam's razor is named.
occam is an imperative procedural language (such as Pascal). It was developed by David May and others at Inmos (trademark INMOS), advised by Tony Hoare, as the native programming language for their transputer microprocessors, but implementations for other platforms are available. The most widely known version is occam 2; its programming manual was written by Steven Ericsson-Zenith and others at Inmos.
