Kernighan and Pike concentrate on using standard languages such as C and Java to implement these concepts, but it is instructive to see how a multiparadigm language such as Oz changes the outlook. Oz’s concurrency model yields simplicity and clarity (because Oz makes it easier to express complex programs with many interacting components), generality, and better interfaces (because the dataflow model automatically makes interfaces more light
