5. LUCID 1. Early query language, ca. 1965, System Development Corp, Santa Monica, CA. [Sammet 1969, p. 701]. 2. A family of dataflow languages descended from ISWIM, lazy but first-order. Ashcroft & Wadge uvic. ca>, 1981. They use a dynamic demand driven model. Statements are regarded as equations defining a network of processors and communication lines, through which the data flows. Every data object is thought of as an infinite stream of simple values, every function as a filter. Lucid has no data constructors such as arrays or records. Iteration is simulated with is current and fby concatenation of sequences. Higher-order functions are implemented using pure dataflow and no closures or heaps.
