Oz is a programming language created at the University of Melbourne, Australia in the early 1990s. It was designed to be a more human-friendly alternative to traditional languages like C and FORTRAN. Oz is based on a model of computation called Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP), which is a type of logic programming.
Oz is notable for its use of constraint solving and programming, which allows for more natural and human-like interaction with the language. It also has a unique visual programming environment called Mozart, which uses a graphical representation of the Oz language.
Oz is used in a variety of fields, including artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and natural language processing.
