This was a messaging language superset of Icon I created as a student project in 1999. It uses the same Actors messaging paradigm of concurrent computing that is becoming more popular with languages like Erlang.
One would declare behaviors instead of procedures with certain patterns. During computation, messages would be sent to nodes, and when groups of messages fit the patterns, the behavior would be executed on that node.
These semantics were copied from the language MDC-90, also known as LLMDC/C.
A copy of Icon is required to compile and run the Crow compiler.
