Ottawa Euclid

   <language> (Named after the Greek geometer, fl ca 300 BC.) A
   {Pascal} descendant for development of verifiable system
   software.  No {goto}, no {side effects}, no global
   assignments, no functional arguments, no nested procedures, no
   floats, no {enumeration types}.  Pointers are treated as
   indices of special arrays called collections.  To prevent
   {aliasing}, Euclid forbids any overlap in the list of actual
   parameters of a procedure.  Each procedure gives an imports
   list, and the compiler determines the identifiers that are
   implicitly imported.  Iterators.

   Ottawa Euclid is a variant.

EUCLID

an old Greek who made poor students read his book as
far back as 300 B. C. He discovered the phenomenon that the
shortest distance between two points is a crow's flight, and
that two parallel lines always compete.
