  abstract= "This paper details the design of a new concurrent
     process-oriented programming language, Rain. The language
     borrows heavily from occam-p and C++ to create a new
     language based on process-oriented programming, marrying
     channel-based communication, a clear division between
     statement and expression, and elements of functional
     programming. An expressive yet simple type system, coupled
     with templates, underpins the language. Modern features such
     as Unicode support and 64-bit integers are included from the
     outset, and new ideas involving permissions and coding
     standards are also proposed. The language targets a new
     virtual machine, which is detailed in a companion paper
     along with benchmarks of its performance."
