1982 Computing 2 Dec. 19/1 Inmos has a brand new language for sale... The language is occam—with a small ‘o’—which sees the light of day for the first time this week.

1983 Computer Design Nov. 107/1 Language-based architectures help simplify complex multiprocessor system software. The Occam language, a recent and well-publicized example, was designed to promote such simplicity.

1989 New Scientist 13 May 64/1 Unlike most languages, occam allows programmers to write programs in which several things happen at once.

1989 Dr. Dobb's Jrnl. Sept. 116/2 Jürgen did agree that the Transputer's ‘native’ language, occam, was on its way out.

1996 InfoWorld (Electronic ed.) 15 Jan. Dickson has developed several applications in TJOccam, his derivative of the Occam language. Occam..is a static memory-allocation language that treats software modules as if they were hardware.
