Yes, I also used Occam-2 in the nineties, and no, the referenced Wikipedia article is not new.

  It looks like the topic is new to HN, though, in the sense that we've never had a thread about Occam the language. At least I couldn't find one. Anybody?

    Look for transputer threads. The language never got traction because it was non-portable, tied to a doomed hardware platform, and had extremely rudimentary support for data structures. One-trick languages don't usually attract much attention.

    That leaves some Wikipedia articles that have not yet been posted here.

      I'm not sure I follow. If a topic is interesting, it's fine to post it here, even as a Wikipedia article, though of course more specialized sources are often more interesting.
