After a brief summary of occam's strengths, possible additional features are discussed, including recursion, source code modularity, exception response, and the automatic avoidance of deadlock. Consideration is then given to the inclusion of passive ('data') objects and the possibility of their movement between processes. Transfer primitives are proposed, alongside assignment and communication. Discussion is presented with regard to the potential for a new programming language, building on occam, while preserving its security and simplicity." }
