OZ Language
I was reviewing the MIT 2004 book
Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming.
I'm curious about the potencial and future of the multifaceted language OZ used in the book to show samples about a lot of programming paradigms.
Despite the The Mozart Programming System , is the future of this language only academic?
Or, is OZ a good future language?

I personally don't think it's going anywhere but academia, but there's nothing to stop you doing anything with it.
You might look at pluvo, however, interesting blend of python and lisp. Thanks netytan for pointing that out to me.

As you know, it has some powerful features (laziness, dataflow) which could make certain difficult tasks easy, esp. re concurrency and "it's all concurrent now" so although Oz will remain an academic language unless some big company gets behind it, it may also be a future secret weapon for clever hackers, in the same way that Paul Graham describes leaving competitors standing by using a smarter set of tools. There's a sense then that it doesn't matter if these things (Lisp, Oz, Haskell) never become mainstream and begin to appeal to managers, because they can benefit those who can recognise them. And if the features are strong enough they drip into mainstream languages eventually, like the introduction of FP flavour to VB
