I know what you're thinking: what are Occam, Occam Pi, or the Transputer (RIP)? Wikipedia my friends, and perhaps a discussion for another day. In the meantime, thanks to a post from P.H. Welch on the Java-threads and occam-com mail lists, here on one handy place is a collection of links to several related web sites, in response to the question of whether occam was "dead" or not:
To see some life, you could look at the CoSMoS demo pages:
http://www.cosmos-research.org/demos
all of which are programmed in occam-pi. This is a *funded* project
(almost 1.5M GBP), starting nearly two years ago and continuing
through March, 2012. occam-pi is flying, :).
We're also maintaining:

What - you want some of the wikipedia links to save you a minute of typing/searching? OK:
Occam Language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam_(programming_language)
Inmos Transputer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transputer
Many of the early Occam and Transputer concepts have been reborn in current technology. Please post comments with links to any of which you are aware.
best regards
