UFO
     
         (United Functions and Objects) A hybrid
        {functional} and {object-oriented} language designed by John
        Seargant at {Manchester University} for general-purpose
        parallel computation.
     
        To a first approximation, UFO is a strict, higher-order
        functional language with an object-oriented type system, and
        strong support for numeric computation in the form of
        SISAL-style arrays and loops.  Parallelism is implicit, and
        applies at various different levels of granularity, thereby
        facilitating implementations on a wide range of parallel
        architectures.
     
        It is planned to run it on a 64 processor {KSR} machine.
