Π-Calculus (Pi-Calculus)

  >"Central to the π-calculus is the notion of name. The simplicity of the calculus lies in the dual role that names play as communication channels and variables." That is very interesting! A future related (concurrent!) programming language might allow every variable -- to also be a communication channel, and conversely, every communication channel to also be a variable!
