Goffin
<language> A definitional constraint language for declarative parallel
programming. Goffin systematically integrates equational constraints and
functions within a uniform framework of concurrent programming.
Goffin is an embedding of a functional language kernel (Haskell) into a layer of
constraint logic, which allows logical variables inside functional expressions.
In order to preserve referential transparency, functional reduction suspends
until logical variables become bound.
Logical variables are bound by equational constraints, which impose relations
over expressions. Hence, constraints are the means to structure the concurrent
reduction of functional expressions.
