Abstract: We describe Hal, a high-level, actor-based language which has served as a test-bed for experimenting with powerful linguistic constructs for parallel and distributed programming. Hal is an architecture independent, concurrent object-oriented language which supports inheritance, synchronization constraints, continuation capture, synchronous and asynchronous message passing, and reflection. The Hal compiler has been used to execute actor programs on a number of shared and distributed memory... (Update)
