Oz/Mozart is pretty cool. Last time I looked at it I thought it was mostly a teaching language. Have there been large scale applications built with it recently?
I don’t think so. As far as I understand it’s intended as a teaching language.
I was blown away when following along with the edX course [1] and the textbook [2],which demonstrates you can have all different programming paradigms in the same language, depending on which primitives you add. That clarified quite a few things about PL fundamentals for me.
I ran a web service for a while written in Mozart/Oz, using the Roads web framework. It worked pretty well but I hit some scaling issues with the runtime - I hit limits with incoming sockets due to use of ‘select’ in the runtime vs epoll/kqueue/etc. I still use Mozart/Oz occasionally. I’ve been working on porting the runtime of the 1.3.x version to 64 bit in this branch so I can continue using it.
