%X 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.
