UNITY (programming Language)
UNITY is a programming language that was constructed by K. Mani Chandy and Jayadev Misra for their book Parallel Program Design: A Foundation. It is a rather theoretical language, which tries to focus on what, instead of where, when or how. The peculiar thing about the language is that it has no flow control. The statements in the program run in a random order, until none of the statements causes change if run. This allows for programs that run indefinitely (auto-pilot or power plant safety system) as well as programs that would normally terminate (which here converge to a fixed point).

Famous quotes containing the word unity:
“As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
